• Dry style
• Lemon meringue
• Honey biscuits
• Elegant finish

Beautiful notes of lemon meringue, complemented by classical chardonnay bee's wax and honey characters. Aromatics are wild herbs, honeycomb, and biscuit yeast characters. The palate is well balanced with lemon, pineapple building to a creamy mid-palate, tapering off to an elegant finish which exudes finesse.

The Scott Family, owners of Allan Scott Family Winemakers, have long had an affinity with Central Otago. The Scott Base Vineyard was established in 1994 and is situated in the heart of Central Otago on terraces overlooking the town of Cromwell and Lake Dunstan. With a climate and sandy, silty, loam soil terrain unmatched for both its rugged beauty and ability to produce excellent wines, it's no wonder they've been enamoured with the vineyard from the start.

100% Chardonnay.Using only free run juice it is fermented to dryness, then filtered and prepared for secondary fermentation in the bottle. Just prior to bottling sugar and yeast is added to initiate the bottle fermentation. Over the following weeks the yeast converts the sugar into carbon dioxide. Being unable to escape, the carbon dioxide dissolves into the wine creating the bubbles. Aged for up to two years on its lees under cool dark conditions, then disgorged.
