Foundstone is the foundation on which our portfolio rests. Sourced from vineyards in the sunny south east, these wines are consistently full of flavour and made so that they are ready to drink now.

This Unoaked Chardonnay offers lime, melon and lifted green apple aromas which give way to a clean, crisp palate with flavours of lime softened by honey dew melon which continues to a long and zesty finish.

VINTAGE   2006

VARIETY   Chardonnay 85%, Verdelho 15%

VINTAGE   Vintage started well with good rains in mid spring and cool weather right up into January setting up for what was expected to be a great vintage. Temperate early season weather shifted into a very intense heat causing a delay in grape maturity. The whites were picked earlier than reds and juices show vibrant greens and had better natural acid levels and attractive fresh fruit aromas ranging from citrus to white nectarine. Overall the vintage will be remembered as challenging and as producing juice fresh whites.

FOOD MATCH   Enjoy with grilled fish, light chicken salad or just as an aperitif...also great with vegetable stack!

CELLARING   This wine has been made to drink now but will cellar for 3 years.
