Barrel fermentation in French oak providing structural and textural complexity for the white peach and nectarine fruit, citrussy acidity worming its way in on the finish. The 12 strongly suggests this wine is yet to show its best.

Glowing yellow-green; a powerful and complex chardonnay showing Beechworth to full advantage with nuances of White Burgundy in the way its fruit flavours are seamlessly welded into a single expression of place. Those flavours are grapefruit pith and zest, white peach and apple, which in turn are blended with oak and acidity. A snip at the price.
