The warm slopes of the Raupo vineyard in the Omaka Valley are home to some of our most important Chardonnay vineyards, where the vines respond well to the combination of cool clay soils and the exposure to the sun. This Chardonnay is an appealing wine on the nose, with notes of citrus, toasted almond and apple. The palate is focused and bright, with hints of grapefruit, nectarine and peach. The acidity is firm and linear, giving backbone to the soft orchard-fruit core and carrying through to a long fragrant finish.
