Drinking well now. Peak drinking window now – 2018.

Colour
Very pale straw.

Nose
Intense white peach, lemon blossom, cashew nut, cream and elderflower integrate with a very subtle oak background.

Palate
Lemon sorbet runs in unison with slate / schist minerality. The palate has a fine structure with texture and remarkable linearity.
Barrel ferment and lees derived complexity creates further intrigue.
Taut, tight, linear and lithe! Tumbarumba's cool climate and high altitude continue to swing Australia's Chardonnay pendulum in the right direction.

Origin: Tumbarumba, New South Wales, Australia.

Maturation: This wine was matured for seven months in seasoned French oak barriques.

Variety: Chardonnay.

The 2010 vintage enjoyed a frost free growing season. Flowering was mid-to-late November due to below average spring temperatures. Cool conditions during spring and summer allowed the fruit to ripen slowly and evenly, creating a wonderful balance of fruit ripeness and natural acidity. Chardonnay continued to be a stand-out performer for Tumbarumba, showing complexity and length of flavour on the palate.

First Vintage: 2005.
