There’s wet chalk, lemon peel, and gentle hazelnutty oak in play as well. The palate has seamless, layered, and fresh citrus and peach flavors, as well as a stream of pithy grapefruit and peach on offer. Acidity holds the finish long and true. This is one of the most elegant vintages of this wine, reminiscent of the 2014. Oak chimes in so subtly on the finish. Drink or hold.

With a climate at the cool extremes for viticulture in Australia, it is no surprise that Chardonnay and Pinot Noir perform so splendidly. An anomaly for such a cool climate, the rainfall is significantly lower than many of Australia’s other cool climate regions, with an average of approximately 500mm of rain per year. This cool but relatively dry climate allows the grapes to ripen slowly in autumn, without the disease pressure that heavy rainfall \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ecan bring.

The pair saw the vineyard’s potential immediately, and have been producing exceptional single-vineyard Chardonnay and Pinot Noir ever since. There was a particularly wet start to 2021 – one of the coolest on record – resulting in much smaller but more concentrated grapes. Harvested by hand, the grapes are whole-bunch-pressed and then aged in French oak for nine months. \u003cstrong\u003eThe nose is fresh and ripe with incredible structure\u003c\/strong\u003e, showing quince, candied lemon peel, grapefruit juice, and subtle oak. \u003cstrong\u003eA lingering acidity completes the frame of this outstanding wine\u003c\/strong\u003e.
