This pristine Chardonnay offers a fresh bouquet full of citrus, apple, pineapple and pear. The restrained, yet elegant oak influence imparts notes of almond and vanilla while a balanced acidity highlights the citrus notes on the palate. This wine finishes softly, allowing the beautiful balance of fruit and acidity to shine.

The 2019 growing season featured a mild summer which allowed the grapes to ripen slowly. Heat waves and rainspells were limited, and the harvest was slow and cool. As a result, this vintage shows exceptional quality, eleganceand the racy trademark acidity the Edna Valley is known for.
