Wild fermentation and occasional battonage with natural malolactic fermentation. Custard apple, baked pears and lemon custard. Churned butter, flaky pastry and cashew cream. There is a punch of driving acidity and a hint of green olive brine. Oak Cuddles the wine but allows the savoury raw nuttiness to shine through. This is a wine that covers all the fruit bases hints of tropical, orchard fruits wrapped in green citrus. Generous in Chardonnay flavour. Drink now or will cellar for 5 years. This is a wine that would complement new season asparagus with generous spoons of hollandaise sauce.
"Orange-citrus and stone fruit aromas wrapped up in lifted buttery tones. Tropical fruit notes of pawpaw are present with struck match, pine needle and toasted almonds.
The palate shows pears, peaches with cream. Sweeter oak tones of macadamia nut show with soft-buttery notes laced throughout. The wine is showing zesty and fresh acid with pristine lemon and orange citrus tones. The textural broadness of the wine helps creates a clean and intriguing finish.
2021 will go down as a very special vintage. The season will be marked with a nod to the vintages of old in the Yarra Valley, where cooler conditions allowed for a long ripening window which allowed for excellent acid, elegance and intense flavour development.
This release is sourced from the Primavera vineyard in the Upper Yarra Valley. The block sits at 230m above sea level and the clone is P58. The vineyard was planted in 2001 on red friable clay most commonly found in the upper Yarra. The red soils give mid-palate weight to all wines, and Chardonnay is ideally suited to this." - Winery
