Those conditions have given this wine great intensity and high extract.There is a pithy quality to the palate, with the trademark acidity balanced by layers of texture. Softness, as well as freshness and nectarine notes that mingle with more crystalline glacé lemon are a reminder of the late season warmth that finished off ripening beautifully.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnother cooler than average season with some influence from La Niña weather patterns. The season was cool to begin with, which meant that a smaller crop formed during fruit set.The summer was mild, warming up towards the end and adding flavour and ripeness to the fresh acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince purchasing the vineyard in 2012, significant investments have been made to further enhance the site. It had always shown potential for a single site wine and in 2014 a small amount was selected for our first 'Lenswood Vineyard' Chardonnay.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGently whole bunch pressed, then fermented in 500 litre puncheon, 30% new.
