This Premier shows classic hallmarks of Upper Yarra chardonnay, flint and river pebble, pastries, lime marmalade. There is quite a powerful undercurrent of ripe grapefruit and white peach. The palate is multilayered with nectarine, Tahitian lime and lemon sorbet. There is a glossy aspect to the texture which fills the palate and delivers both the flavour and refreshment nicely.

2022 will be remembered for the tiniest yields in a decade resulting from poor flowering conditions in our parts of the Yarra Valley. The quality of the resultant wines of this vintage however are outstanding with both concentration and finesse.
