A pure and tightly wound wine showing the muscle and intensity of the low yielding Birdwood and Woodside sites, and the nervy acid line synonymous with fine, late ripening and deeply cool Piccadilly Valley Chardonnay. A shy and somewhat restrained nose showing spicey ginger, white flowers, green nectarine fruit characters, and subtle hints of nougat and white chocolate. On the palate, a bedrock of chalky minerality supports a core of intense stone fruit, framing its lingering acidity.
