STYLE
The Rowlee Vineyard influence shines through in this classic cool climate chardonnay. The abundant yet delicate palate of airy stonefruit and citrus flavours is underlined with hints of honeysuckle and flint. Integrated oak and stirring of the lees adds complexity and depth. A generous flavour profile, with fine acidity and crisp minerality. Fresh and bright with lovely drive and persistence of flavour. Refined, delicate and delicious.

VINIFICATION
