Les beaux cailloux translated from French means 'the beautiful gravels'. It is these soils of the 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.
Tasting note
Very pale straw colour with youthful green hues. Floral aromatics of citrus blossom, acacia and clover honey meld with mineral characters of chalk dust and flint. Manadarin zest and lemon fruit flavours are given life and freshness via electric acidity. This is the most delicate and aromatic Les Beaux Cailloux yet with trademark power and length.
