Premium Reserve Chardonnay from a respected Australian producer. This wine showcases careful oak integration and fruit concentration from select parcels, with lees influence adding subtle texture. Aromas of white peach, nectarine, and citrus zest mingle with vanilla and toasted almond. On the palate, ripe stone fruits meet citrus acidity in a creamy, balanced style. Finishes long with mineral notes. A versatile companion to seafood, roasted poultry with cream sauces, and soft cheeses. Best enjoyed now with the potential for modest development over a few years. Tasting Notes Appearance: Bright straw with a pale gold edge. Nose: White peach, nectarine, pear, lemon zest; hints of vanilla, brioche, and toasted almond; subtle minerality. Palate: Medium-full body; creamy texture with integrated oak. Flavors of peach, white nectarine, lemon curd, and pear; vanilla and toast from French oak; crisp, guiding acidity.
