Les beaux cailloux translated from French means 'the beautiful gravels'. It is these soils of our Gimblett Gravels Vineyard that seem to impart a finely textured mineral quality into the finished wine, unique to Chardonnay made from this region. Always traditionally made from a single Chardonnay block planted with a variety of clones, "Les Beaux Cailloux" represents the ultimate expression of our winemaking art. Finely flavoured, complex, tautly structured. Deep mellow gold in colour, with flecks of green. Fresh peach and citrus aromas dominate the nose, with an echo of buttered toast. The palate is a generous, silky medley of peach and grapefruit flavours, framed by the sensitive use of oak and clean cool acidity, leaving an invigorating, powerful finish.
