2004 vintage
The 2004 Chardonnay is pale straw in colour and has a delicate bouquet
that expresses poached pear up-front followed by more complex malo
yeasty characters. The latter are the result of the wine having
some light oak barrel maturation. The poached pears and malo characters
continue through to the palate. They are round and silky on the
mid palate and the wine finishes with pleasant acidity and good
length.
