Harvest Note
The vintage was challenging due to excessive rainfall through most of the growing season, and the inevitable poor flowering and fungal pressures which resulted. High temperatures contributed to the tropical ambiance, which only began to moderate in the final weeks before harvest, which occured between September 12 - 23.
Tasting Note
Always the raciest cuvée! The delicate nose intensifies after some opening time and reveals lemon aroma, zest and verbena. On the palate there is both density and tension.

About the Grape
Chardonnay
Though it has a distinctive profile, Chardonnay reflects other factors such as soil composition and vinification technique. Chardonnay is a reliable, hardy and prolific vine whose only real vulnerabilities are frost and uneven development of fruit.
