Description
Made in a bold unashamedly powerful style, this glorious wine has an enviable Gold Medal track record. Aromas of creamy oak, ripe peach, and mealy richness lead into a concentrated palate bursting with stone fruit, oak spice, and tropical fruits.
Not for the faint hearted but guaranteed to impress the most discerning Chardonnay fan. Absolutely world class.
Food pairing: Cut through the rich creaminess of lobster with drawn butter, crab linguine, roast chicken with pan jus, crispy pork belly, carbonara or truffle mac & cheese, and triple-cream brie.

Handpicked then whole bunch pressed, the free-run juice was fermented mainly in new French oak, with the rest in one year and older French oak barriques.
Some indigenous yeast ferments were allowed to run up to 30ºC giving texture and roundness while the rest fermented cool (12-15ºC) to maintain the classic Clearview character. The wine matured in the same barriques until racking in June 2017.
