Maiden vintage and ingenious blend from one of the world finest Chardonnay producer, made by the Hamilton Russell family.
Clean, showing intense passion fruit, ripe tropical fruit, green lemon, gold kiwi, peppery sweet peas, mineral and quite profound.
Dry with high acidity, crunchy, fresh and vibrant, lots of energy here, mineral core, linear, juicy white grapefruit on texture, elegant, long and persistent, surprised and impress your friends this Christmas and New year, buy by the case loads.
Will be perfect with anything crunchy, peppery, briny/saline note, delicately grilled white "meat" with olive oil
