Tasting Note
The well-drained soils at our Riverview vineyard ensure Chardonnays of intense flavour, elegance and finesse.
Fruit flavours of citrus, mandarin and melon have been complemented by vanillin flavours from full barrel fermentation and ageing on lees.
A perfect match with seafood and poultry dishes.
