TASTING NOTES
This Chardonnay is sourced from our Frasca’s Lane Vineyard in Victoria’s cool climate King Valley. Brilliant straw with a youthful hue. Intense, lifted aromas of ripe peach, nectarine and cantaloupe well-integrated with toasty French oak. A full-bodied style displaying elegant peach, nut and biscuity notes perfectly balanced with crisp acidity.
REVIEWS
