Download Full Winemaker Note
Pale straw and a green hue at release.
Wine Bouquet
Delightful aromas of white peach, nectarines, melon and pineapple join subtle hints of savoury cashew and spice.
Wine Palate
Fresh flavours of stone fruit combine with a touch of tropical pineapple, cashews and an underlying creaminess from extended lees stirring to deliver a mouth-filling and enjoyable wine. The wine has a clean, elegant palate and a long persistence.
Cellaring Notes
This wine can be enjoyed upon release but will reward careful cellaring up to and possibly beyond 2012.

Summer Whites
Wakefield Estate Chardonnay 2008Ray Jordan, West Australian, November 2009
Summer Whites
A blend of Clare and Adelaide Hills fruit that was picked before the searing heat in this vintage. The result is a beautifully structured wine of complexity and finesse delivering a controlled minerally palate.BetterWine
