Sourced from the Relbia vineyard in Tasmania's cool Tamar Valley corridor, this is Chardonnay made with restraint: prioritising freshness, precision and varietal clarity over oak richness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe style is consistently bright and clean, with stainless steel fermentation preserving primary fruit character and a period of lees maturation building gentle texture and mid-palate weight. A small proportion of wild-fermented barrel-aged Chardonnay is folded in to add complexity and offset the wine's inherently fresh, fruity nature — a quiet nod to craft without compromising the wine's easy-drinking appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pale straw with bright green-gold hues, clear and luminous.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fresh and inviting, with citrus blossom, white peach and lemon curd leading, followed by a subtle briny minerality characteristic of cool-climate Tasmanian Chardonnay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium-bodied and precise, with lively natural acidity framing stone fruit and citrus flavours.
