Tasting notes on the wine:
"With chardonnay grapes harvested from one of the coolest wine regions in Australia, this bottling exhibits expressive freshness and simplicity. Taking a sip of this wine brings about a creaminess on the palate reminiscent of green apple pudding with grated lemon zest on top. It’s a dry and zippy wine, with delicate bubbles best to drink at the very beginning of summer, when the air still has a bit of chill but with the warmth of the early afternoon sun providing an excuse to take another sip." - Paula de Pano
About the winemaker:
"The Aboriginal art on this label connects its roots to the First Nations People of Australia and the wine community, which owner Gary Green hopes will help break the stereotype surrounding Aboriginal people in alcohol, which is normally a negative one." — Paula de Pano
