Q WINE
Chardonnay 2023 750ml

100% clone 95 Chardonnay, barrel fermented with 30% new oak. A rich palate with ripe fruit and weighty buttery pastry element, lending a lengthy finish with chalky minerals.

Deepening straw hues with golden highlights and very bright appearance lead to a bouquet of ripeness, readiness and freshness. A chardonnay with a near full-bodied satin touch, flavours of fig and peach, honeyed apple and vanilla. As the wine opens out on the palate, the flavours build along with a fine lees quality and mineral touch that reflects the region well. Medium + (ish) acid line, lovely texture and finish. Ready to drink from 2024 through 2028+

Rich, creamy-textured chardonnay with a strongly saline character and toast, sizzled butter, and ginger supported by gently tangy acidity. Appealing wine that is nicely balanced and has cellaring potential.

The grapes have been handpicked and whole-bunch pressed before barrel fermentation. A generous, textural palate combines minerality and richness, with long-lasting aromas of white flowers, bread crumb, and complex spices — fresh ginger, white pepper, and vanilla bean.
