Winemaker’s comments    On the nose, the wine is open and expressive with notes of apple, pear and a touch of custard. There’s a genuine impression of a warm apple pie, fresh out of the oven here. This carries through on the palate, with the orchard fruit notes joined by a hint of just-ripe nectarine, subtle vanilla, and framed by an appleskin phenolic grip and balanced by freshening acidity.       Food match    Chardonnay is a classic that can pair with many dishes, but definitely consider white meats and more robust fish dishes. The bright acidity and minimal oak character here means that it will also pair well with higher  acid ingredients such as tomatoes and citrus. Our favourite, seared sustainably-caught sesame-crusted tuna,  served with pickled cucumber and fresh sugar-snap peas.
