Levantine Hill Katherine's Paddock Chardonnay

This wine deliberately eschews the modern style of taut and fine-boned expressions of Chardonnay, offering a defiant reclamation of the middle ground where body, flavour and palate weight can co-exist with structure, texture and measured acidity. Characters of flint, crème anglaise, white nectarine, lemon zest, honeydew melon, almond meal and cinnamon apple danish with underlying tempered toasty char and subtle struck match complexity. Medium-tensile acidity supports heft of flavour, weight and intensity. Flavours of white grapefruit, toasted hazelnut, makrut leaf, saltbush and subtle vanillin interplay with tactile chalkiness underpinning a weighty biscuity texture.
