Sourced from Rush Bros Vineyard, Malmsbury. Wild yeast barrel fermentation, 17 months in old oak and 100% MLF gives this wine a rich buttery, honey nose and a matching creamy rich palate. Lovely mouth filling wine with a long finish. A traditional approach that works....

Honey toasty nose with some tropical notes. Clean elegant and crisp palate. Dry, medium bodied. A touch of lees and nuts on the palate from lees stirring. Nice varietal example representing excellent value for money.

Fairly high toasted notes supported by some nice stone fruit. Peach and nectarines. Well balanced a hint of lees contact, new oak and creaminess. Medium length and bodied. Full lees for 11 month no stirring. Attractive well-made wine.

Melon and lemon aromas supported with subtle lees, fresh yeast and cashews. Medium bodied savoury palate with partial MLF flavours producing a nutty profile rather than fruit driven. Overall a well made Chardonnay delivering good value for money

Saline. citrus with hints of ripe soft pear and peach. Fresh citrus driven palate with some warm weight from the alcohol. Dances between medium and full bodied. Medium finish. Nice varietal expression, well made and good value. Checkout Laithwaites for mixed case...
