Light straw-green; the Sexton Vineyard is estate-owned planted on the slopes of the Warramate Hills (also known as Steels Range) with a northern aspect. It is a wine of intensity and complexity the flavours rising in steps rather like the topography of the vineyard each sip revealing a new flavour sensation.

Coming from a single vineyard planted in 1997 the 2010 Sexton Vineyard Chardonnay received no malo-lactic was fermented with wild yeast in barrel and matured 11 months in new (25%) and older French oak barriques. It offers pronounced aromas of ripe apricots and white peaches over green mango oatmeal and honeyed toast. Medium bodied it has a good concentration of stone fruit and toasty oak flavors with crisp acid and a long creamy finish. Drinking now it should cellar to 2015.
