Pike & Joyce ‘Kay’ Reserve Chardonnay

The palate is powerful, refined, and tightly coiled, opening with lemon zest, white nectarine, and green apple lifted by bright, driving acidity that gives the wine its signature Adelaide Hills tension. Texture is silky yet concentrated, with more pronounced oak than Sirocco — adding brioche, vanilla‑almond, and subtle toast while still keeping the line pure. The mid‑palate shows grapefruit pith, hazelnut, flint, and a smoky‑mineral thread, giving depth and savoury complexity beneath the citrus‑stone fruit. The finish is long, precise, and mineral‑charged, leaving citrus peel, peach skin, roasted nuts, and a clean, stony echo.
