"This is a cracking Adelaide Hills Chardonnay, from the Macclesfield sub-region, from a very fine year. This is a finely constructed Chardonnay with impressive length. Spices, lemons, a very gentle hint of cashew, touches of ginger and river stones. The palate moves to cumquats and there is a lingering whiff of vanilla. It just seems to keep getting better and better. Poised, balanced and with very good intensity, there really is serious length here and it should drink beautifully over the next four to eight years.
Sourced from high altitude vineyards which are home to a mix of clones, the fruit is whole bunch pressed into French oak puncheons – 30% new, 30% second use and the rest third use. Barrel fermentation was over 20 days with partial malo. Maturation was a total of nine months." - Wine Pilot
"Our collection of premium, small-batch wines that reflect the unique geology and climate of Macclesfield. The labels feature ethereal photographs of sculptures from our vineyard - hewn from Macclesfield pink marble. These images echo the undulating topography of the vineyard.
Flavours are of Ginger. Brine. Butterscotch. Line. Lusciousness. Length." - Long View
