The 2021 vintage in Yarra Valley was expressive – cool night temperatures and warm days allowed Chardonnay grapes to retain vibrant acidity while developing a more subtle aromatic profile. The aroma reveals notes of white peach, citrus zest, and green apple, accompanied by hints of brioche, vanilla, and light honey. On the palate, the wine is dry, medium-to-full-bodied, with soft acidity and a creamy texture. There is a gentle trace of spice and herbs, a light minerality, and warm oak notes, adding complexity to the wine. The finish is long, harmonious, and elegant, with a blend of fruit and aging nuances.
