TASTING NOTES

Owners/ Vignerons son Sebastian has been making a barrel of wine since the age of 8. In year 3 of making wine, Sebastian wanted to understand the key differences between making red and white wine. This single barrel Home Block chardonnay displays white stone fruits and citrus. It is complex and lingers on the back palate. Pairs perfectly with shark bay blue swimmer crab & scallops
