Notes
"Stainless ferment, 20% malolactic fermentation on full solids; 11 months in oak (33% new) with an additional four months on lees in stainless steel. Yellow grapefruit segments, blue riverstone and Blue-Tack. Lily of the Valley blooms, crushed limestone and white apple flesh. Dried brick mortar, honeysuckle and chamomile. Seductively aromatic and full of soil minerals, the wine is electric with pinpoint acidity. An oyster brine of salinity, droplets of finger lime and white pepper. Innate power and force behind this wine built from fruit and site. Oak elevates without distracting in any way. This is supersonic chardonnay."
