Malolactic completed naturally in late spring with no sulphur, and the wine was bottled after nine months without fining or filtration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhat you get is a Chardonnay that's richer and more layered than most from the Hills, but with a savoury edge and a line of acidity that keeps it fresh. The fruit weight is generous and ripe, but there's complexity and detail in behind it that makes such a special wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAnother captivating release of one of the most exciting new Chardonnays on the market in recent years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Perhaps pound for pound one of the country's best value chardonnay wines over the past few years...
