Aged for 12 months in French oak, this wine is a blend of 50% Chardonnay, 30% Malvasia, 20% Viura, all sourced from vines over 50 years of age. The buttery nose entices right out of the gate with poached pear and brioche elements impressing. The palate shows a really good weight and viscosity with brioche, toasted macadamia nut, white peach and vanilla cream flavors. Nicely balanced, this great wine will age marvelously over the next ten plus years.
