“It’s a settled, sure-footed chardonnay with ample flavour and a clean, long, succulent finish. It refreshes and it satisfies. It tastes of white peach, grapefruit, honeysuckle and spicy oak, a green apple juiciness washing through the finish. Both flavoursome and neat/tidy.”
Campbell Mattinson, Wine Front, April 2017
As ever the Estate Chardonnay is intended as an expression of the Ten Minutes by Tractor style, with inputs from all three Estate vineyards. Yet it also has a different character to the more definitive single vineyard wines, with an extra approachability and vitality.
Green straw, this carries the white peach fruit character, with whispers of toasty butterscotch oak and lees that fan out through the palate. Crucially, the partial malolactic fermentation gives the back end more citrus acidity thrust to counter the fullness of the winemaking inputs. A final point – don’t drink this too cold, as the expression can be blunted with overchilling. Best drinking 2017–2025
