2020 CHARDONNAY
HOME BLOCK
The nose displays soft melon and mineral tones. Citrus characters when fridge temperature, but once warmed to the recommended 10-12 degrees, this wine delivers lychee and guava, with the citrus remaining as a more subtle background character. On the mid palate, there is a slight tart mineral character, yet balanced by the softness from the malolactic fermentation. Using only French oak with approximately 20% new, there is a lovely woody influence that does not overpower the fresh fruit characters, but rather helps balance into a lovely easy drinking Chardonnay. Enjoyed on its own all year round or accompanying a vast number of foods from vegetable dishes, seafood and chicken through to cheese and cold meats.
