Tasting Notes
Elegant aromas of lime, green peach, and apricot, lifted by subtle hints of flint and limestone. This medium-bodied, dry Chardonnay offers bright acidity and focused flavors, perfectly balancing fruit and mineral notes. The finish is clean and refreshing. Enjoy now or cellar for a few years.
Winemaker’s Comment
“My complete focus was texture,” says winemaker Andrew Hedley.
Half of the wine was barrel-fermented with minimal new oak, then aged for eight months on lees.
“I like wines with lees.”
The result is a deep, firm, and creamy Chardonnay with nuanced flavors of ginger, toast, burnt butter, and white peach.

Pairs beautifully with:
White meats
