Muse
Chardonnay 2012
Our Muse Chardonnay 2012 is a beautifully balanced wine with subtle toast, pastry, and roasted almond aromas. The palate offers honeyed richness, bright citrus, toasted brioche, macadamia, marzipan, and a hint of butterscotch. High acidity keeps the wine lively, while the creamy texture adds depth and balance. A Chardonnay that is drinking exceptionally well now but will reward even further for those with the patience.

Winemaker Notes
The level of integration and austerity that I think best shows the Tasmanian terroir is again shown in this wine. Taut acidity and tannins give the wine great minerality that’s kept fresh via the lack of malo-lactic fermentation. The result is an expression of fruit and wild fermentation characters with a solid backbone. This wine will drink very well in its youth but will also soften and improve with maturation. Look for integrated oak and the chalky minerality balanced between fruit weight, acidity and roundness from battonage.
