The Details

Tasting Note Pale gold with slight green-gold tints. Complex aromas of yellow citrus, cut apple, stone fruit and fresh fig with notes of struck flint, brioche and a hint of spicy French oak. Flavours of fresh peach, citrus zest, green mango and roasted hazelnuts are underpinned by a fine creamy texture and flinty bottle complexity. The Heggies minerality which is such a feature of this vineyard leads the wine to an elegant, lingering finish.
Best Enjoyed With Enjoy with pan seared scallops with pea puree and crispy pancetta or potatoes au gratin.
Treatment Fermented and matured for 11 months in French oak barriques (28% new, balance in 1 year and older) and 42% of the blend was matured in ceramic wine eggs. Our Reserve Chardonnay contains grapes produced by Bernard clones 96, 95 and 76. All vines for this wine were planted in 1992.

Accolades

Excellent clarity and minerally cadence
Pale straw with just a peek of green, there's a detail and linear tension to this year's release that is very appealing. White peach, nectarine and citrus with hints of marzipan, nougat, crushed quartz, wildflowers, clotted cream and nicely judged, dreamy French oak all playing nicely together. Excellent clarity and minerally cadence with a crème fraîche sweep on the mid-palate, some nice grapefruit pith texture and a clean and decidedly moreish flow on the finish.
