-Museum Release- 2019 Close Planted Chardonnay

Colour maintains a youthful green highlight to the pale straw.

Still with creamy soft oak vanilla wrap, the soft mealy and pastry base tones are another portent to the youthful nature of the wine. Lemon and grapefruit rind with a refreshing vigour of briny sea spray. Green grape and a hint of white stone fruit round out an array of calming fruit tones, with a lingering perfume of white flowers.

Sitting calmly between primary and richness of development.

A savoury profile, with hint of piquant oak spice still giving a punctuation. Neatly weighted, a likely result of the high density, low yielding vines, with a finely etched tail of Pipers acidity providing quiet intensity.

A fine example of medium term cellaring from this exceptional vineyard.
