👁 In the Glass:
Pale straw with green tints—bright and shimmering.

👃 On the Nose:
Elegant and pure. Aromas of lemon curd, white peach, and fresh nectarine are lifted by notes of flint, sea spray, and delicate oak spice.

👅 On the Palate:
Focused and layered. A precise core of citrus and stone fruit is framed by subtle oak, creamy lees texture, and a mineral-driven line of acidity. The finish is long, clean, and beautifully balanced.

🍽 Food Pairing:
Perfect with seared scallops, roast chicken, grilled prawns, or creamy mushroom risotto. A versatile Chardonnay that excels with both delicate and rich dishes.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Drinking beautifully now, but will reward cellaring over 5–7 years as it gains further depth and complexity.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
Clonale captures the cool-climate charm of the Mornington Peninsula—offering clarity, texture, and finesse in a beautifully restrained Chardonnay. A modern classic for lovers of precision and poise.
