It's wonderfully expressed on the nose with ripe stone fruit, citrus peel, fig, vanilla and roasted hazelnut aromas, followed by a beautifully weighted palate delivering succulent fruit flavours with creamy texture and well-pitched acidity, offering excellent drinking.

Flint, dried lemons, roasted hazelnuts and orange curd on the nose of this rounded and creamy chardonnay. It’s medium- to full-bodied, lightly toasty and nutty. From organically grown grapes

This is the Chardonnay in Windowrie’s portfolio that is for those that expect more typicity when opening a bottle of Chardonnay. There’s no shortage of toasty vanillin oak and cheesecloth, flinty reduction on the nose. It’s rather inviting, as the sweet florals and stone fruit notes hum underneath it all. Crushed cashew, preserved lemon and ripe nectarine on the palate, the acid is fresh but it is pulled into line with a little leesy, creamy textural interest and fruit weight. Battonage is evident in both texture and flavour, and really bumps this into the realm of enjoyable Friday night drinking. There’s a joyful and rather unexpected purity of fruit that lingers.
