2020 saw the earliest harvest season for the estate so far. The still Chardonnay features fresh pears, green apple, citrus and white blossom on the nose, saline and oily on the palate, with plenty of lemon, grapefruit and lime peel freshness. A small amount of old barrels were used to provide roundness, in addition to partial malolactic fermentation to soften the sharp acidity.
