Roaring Meg Chardonnay 2017
Tasting Notes
The cooler character of the season comes through with clean citrus notes, white peach floral elements and a saline minerality. Supple, riper citrus and greengage plum introduce the wine onto the palate. The wine is textured and focused with weight that defies its ripeness; the finish of the wine is focused by the wines minerality and saline edge.

Vintage Notes
A very interesting season - overall we ended up with an average amount of heat even though the season had a distinctly cool bend to it. A very warm, wet spring kicked off the growing season in style with very early bud-burst. Just as we were entering into flowering, the weather deteriorated with very cool weather being the norm right through late December. This impacted on flowering with lower than average yields.
