Unwooded
Chardonnay 2007 (RV) Passionfruit and peach aromas.
Palate shows strong fruit drive and some nutty yeast
lees character, richly textured mid palate, finishes
crisply and cleanly.
Barrel
Fermented Chardonnay 2007 (RV) Mid straw in colour. The nose
exhibits fruit aromas of citrus, stone fruits and
melon, with spicy oak and mealy characters derived
from the barrel fermentation and lees contact. The
palate is generous in flavour, underpinned by grapefruit
like acid. The finish shows understated oak and excellent
fruit flavour and length.

with sweet fruit aroma of cassis, mulberry, violets,
blackcurrant and fine cedary oak. Palate displays
soft intense fruit and delicate toasty oak flavors.
