The conditions in 2007 were extremely
dry with vintage starting two weeks earlier that expected and finishing
a month earlier than usual, this being the quickest vintage in our
history. As a result, yields were down approximately 30% in our Central
Victorian vineyards but the quality was of an extremely high standard.
Due to the lack of water, berries were smaller and bunch weights
were lower but this has seen an increase in colour and flavour intensity
across the board. This season was definitely about quality rather
than quantity.
A delightful, fruit driven wine displaying aromas
of tropical fruits and peaches with just a hint of lightly toasted
oak. The palate exhibits fresh, ripe Chardonnay flavours of melon
and fig with a delicate, creamy texture and a crisp, clean finish.
Subtle oak handling complements, rather than overpowers the wine.
