This is a blend of 90% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Noir fruit sourced entirely from the Napoleone Vineyard in the Yarra Valley. Each bottling represents a blend, being one part from the grandfather base tank (the oldest element being 2010) along with one part from the current vintage. The wine sees full MLF, as well as small injections of new oak and brandy spirit. Pale gold in appearance with a fine persistent bead. Aromas of citrus fruits and subtle apricot, complemented by a doughy, bready complexity. Fresh and vibrant with a focused palate structure of apple blossom and citrus characters with complex brioche notes.

90% Chardonnay; 10% Pinot Noir; 2% use of Oak; 90% 2016 10% 2015; Dosage 11g/L
Yarra Valley chardonnay (90%) provides zest and lemon freshness while pinot noir supports with red apple and strawberry fruit, backed by subtle toasty, honeyed complexity, good acid line and slightly candied dosage of 11g/L.
