Chardonnay is a white wine grape variety originating in the Burgundy region of France. The grape is renowned as a conduit of terroir and process, deriving its associated flavours from its growing location and the vinification choices of the winemaker. Now very much an international variety with plantings across virtually all wine producing nations, Chardonnay delivers a diverse range of wines with great aromatic complexity.

"Round, creamy texture with some subtle brioche from malolactic fermentation. The palate carries over notes of banana and peach resulting in a well balanced but intense Chardonnay with a finish of exotic fruit."
"During the middle of the fermentation the wine is transferred to French barrique to complete the fermentation. Floral aromas with some lemon and citrus, pehraps even some wild herb. In the mouth a touch of oak comes through. It’s not very integrated but it’s still early in its evolution."
