Since settlement in the 1840’s olive trees have thrived in our wonderful coastal environment. So much so, they are now considered a predator to the native flora. Birds feed on the ripe fruit in the trees and then try to carry them back to their nest. Many a stone is dropped from the sky and where it lands there is a good chance an olive tree will pop up. You’ll see plenty along our road sides and vineyards including our original chardonnay block with trees growing in the rows. All is forgiven when sampling the new harvest of olive oil, a plate of food, a glass of Olive Grove Chardonnay ….

 The appearance is pale with a brilliant straw colour and clear hue. The aromas are fresh, tight and light. The dominating notes are of melted butter and popcorn, white peach stones and nectarines. As the wine opens there is a mix of ripe red apple, spices, cinnamon and citrus, with a hint of oak. 


The palate is soft and very refreshing though its weight is quite deceptive. With characters of green melon rind, ripe fig and ripe apple, it has a moderate level of concentration, depth and persistence to the finish. The level of fine acidity suggested by the noticeable mineral notes really suppresses the level of ripeness, but also suggests the wine needs time to develop.

This is a lovely dry, medium bodied wine that is most enjoyable now and will continue to develop further complex fruit and bottle age characters over the next 8 to 10 years from release.
