Bright, fresh aromatics of stone -fruit and citrus blossom. Crisp flavours of grapefruit and nectarine with subtle French oak influence adding weight and complexity. Clean, natural acidity carries flavours to a long finish.
Hand-picked Chardonnay, single estate. A selection of the four Burgundian Bernard clones, 76, 95, 96 and 277. Each adding varying degrees of richness, structure or finesse. Fruit is immediately whole bunch pressed sequentially to oak with no additives made and proceeds through wild ferment. Battonage being the only intervention during maturation. The barrels are blended to achieve a fruit-driven style of Chardonnay for the Rock of Solitude range.
