Winemaking and foudre combine to impart aromas of the seashore with wet stones, flint and Asian spices on the nose combined with a tropical lift. The palate has a zesty entry, with a hint of richness and minerals followed by a lingering flavour of lychee, ginger, spice and saltwater. This is a unique, modern Chardonnay that also pays homage to the old world.

"This reserve-style wine is fermented in a single new foudre. Showing superb definition and focus, it bangs away with flint-edged tree fruit, spice, toast and a dash of sea salt. Drink through 2029."
