Winemaker Pat Carmody modestly says of this wine, "I don't think there's any secret to my Chardonnay. They're relatively simply made wines. I pick 'em a bit riper than is fashionable. I don't let them go through malo, I don't lees stir much and they spend about 10 months in oak, around 20 per cent new". Well, just because it's simply made does not mean that this is a simple wine, complexity in spades. Famously elegant, there's notes of nectarine, ripe peach, cashew and various spices, just to name a few. Pure, clean and deeply concentrated. This is a phenomenal example of what can be done when you let the fruit and the terroir do the talking.
