Tasting Notes
Made using traditional methods, a blend of the exclusive multi-clonal resources available on the estate.
Lightly Golden colour, with classic Chardonnay fruit aromas of peach, nectarine and ripe figs. Typical of Mountadam Chardonnay there are flavors of grilled nuts with clove and nutmeg spice supported by a citrus core. There is tremendous depth of flavor, which lingers elegantly on the palate suggesting the wine has significant aging potential of at least 10 years.
Chilled and tank pressed and fermented in seasoned French oak barriques with partial malolactic fermentation. The emphasis in the cuvee was to select batches that expressed beautiful purity of fruit, minerality with oak only playing a gently supportive role.

Scores
94 / 100"(2021 vintage) From the Mountadam vineyard, established in 1972, this is a flamboyant and powerful Chardonnay. Spicy ginger takes the lead, introducing a Chardonnay of tang and refinement. Phenolic grip, high class vanillin oak and high altitude acidity unite harmoniously on the finish."
