Tasting note

Vibrant nose: orange blossom, white peach, hints of almond, complex toasty oak aromas - depth and intrigue. Luscious, full-bodied, creamy; palate mirrors nose with white peach, grapefruit, lemon myrtle, fine acidity, integrated oak. Structured, elegant, ages gracefully.

Viticulture

The fruit comes from The Lane's premium Adelaide Hills vineyards, 450m above sea level. Sheltered and south-facing, these vineyards yield excellent Chardonnay grapes. Gravel, limestone, calcium silicates, and ferrous pebbles enrich the soil.
