2020 Chardonnay Estate

Scents of fresh whipped cream, crushed stone, sea breeze and ripe Mandarin, with nuances of ginger root, vanilla bean, rose water. Dry and full in body; rich yet mineral up front, with ripe red apple fruit; the mid-palate is highly extracted, with concentrated pear and apricot flavours and soft, round edges anchored by firm, stony textures; saline acidity weaves its way throughout, creating lift and tension; this tautness bridges to a robust, persistent finish of almond extract, custard, apple pastry and cinnamon.
