AWARDS
90 pts Halliday Wine Companion – Jane Falkner "The Discovery range is always good value and ticks the varietal box well. This has a nice layer of white stone fruit and citrus, followed by some beeswax and sawdusty oak with refreshing acidity to close. Not complex, as it's an unashamedly fruit-drive style to be enjoyed in its youth."
ALCOHOL

GROWING SEASON
A sensational growing season. A moderate spring and start to summer allowed for slow and consistent flavour development, followed by a warm and dry finish leading into Autumn. The wines are bold and flavoursome, boasting exceptional concentration and intensity.
WINEMAKING
Pristine Chardonnay fruit and respectful winemaking. Fermentation and maturation in mainly seasoned French oak, which adds complexity and generosity of texture without compromising the purity of aromatics or flavor.
MATURATION
Seven months in French oak sur lie.
CELLARING POTENTIAL
Very attractive in youth, however will mature gracefully.
