The story

A wine shaped by place

With bold fruit sourced from our Estate Vineyard, the 2021 vintage is a classic New World Chardonnay. A rich, creamy style with big ripe fruit that ranges from bracing citrus to succulent pineapple and hints of toasted vanilla (thanks to the light, but focused influence of French oak).
