Exuberant on the nose, with honeyed red apple fruit and yeasty autolytic character. Harmonious, with no sharp edges, this has focussed fruit and mellow depth. It's a single-vineyard wine from the original block that was planted by the founders in the late 1990s – among the oldest Chardonnay vines in the country. The long track record shows also in the complexity of this forward and fruit-driven fizz.

Chalk, oatmeal and the flesh of Golden Delicious apple create a nose of richness, freshness and depth. The palate reinforces all of these notions and carries them on a creamy, persistent, foamy mousse. Its generosity counters the inherent freshness and strikes a wonderful balance. An elegant wine with backbone and depth.
