Lifted nose of white peach with soft almond oak characters adding complexity. A medium bodied wine showing citrus fruit and floral flavours, finishing with a creamy nutty texture.

A big beautiful buxom Chardonnay!

Re-introducing full-structured, big, rounded, gorgeous Chardonnay. BUTTERFINGERS Chardonnay aged in French oak barrels which created a full-bodied and buttery flavour that lingers on. This wine undergoes a very labour-intensive 12 months lees stirring method and gains it's oak character from the barrels in which it's aged.

This Chardonnay is that player you've known about forever who has not missed a beat. But one day he drops a sitter, a "classic fumble" that nobody has forgotten about. That period through the 90's where Chardonnays, like Butterfingers, were no longer popular with wine drinkers was the 'classic fumble". However, now is the time for those drinkers to remember the champion that the wine has always been.

Sexton pushes ripe citrus, green apple, nuttiness and a Parisian almond/marzipan character. It’s flinty too, minerals don’t escape, but the main gist is a wine of quiet power, depth, concentration and drive. Exceptional length, the finish is a starburst of flavour, then chalky and puckering. It opens up beautifully, indeed needs some time to reveal more and more, so you get a complex wine with incredible detail going on. Long term fans of the Giant Steps chardonnay world will recognise the pedigree here. It has it all.

The palate is finely balanced, with a creamy texture courtesy of the time on lees all supported by a linear backbone of acidity which combines to create an excellent length of flavour
