Description:
Golden yellow colour. Aromas of peaches and nectarines, citrus and 'toast and honey' from the oak.

A full mouth-feel of ripe stonefruit, figs and grapefruit with mealy, biscuity barrel ferment and integrated oak characters adding complexity. The texture is silky and concentrated, with a long lasting finish.

Ageing in 55% new, 35% one year old and 10% in older French oak barriques.

100% malo-lactic fermentation was used to soften the grape acidity and to compliment the Chardonnay character. Lees aging and regular stirring was used to increase complexity and mouth feel.

The wine was blended after 10 months in barrel and bottled in February 2006.

This wine displays the desirable character of elegance with power. This is a powerful wine, but it also shows softness and great balance.

Grape Variety: 100% Chardonnay.

Background: 2005 was a challenging season in Hawkes Bay. A fantastic, dry, warm summer was followed by a mix of wet and dry periods throughout autumn.

By closely working with the weather, the ripe grapes were picked in good condition.
