Description

Meet the newest vintage of our fan-favourite Chardonnay. For complexity, completeness, and balance, they achieve a diversity of ripeness by using the traditional method of harvesting the fruit a number of different times during the ripening period. The earlier harvests contribute acidity and minerality, and the later harvests contribute flesh and richness. The whole-cluster press all of the grapes, then ferment and age the wine in seasoned French oak barrels, with only native yeast. No battonage (lees stirring) or racking. They allow two-fifths of the barrels to go through malo-lactic fermentation.

The moderate alcohol and mouthwatering acidity that is a trademark of that vineyard is very much present, balanced by a riper luscious creaminess.

2601 cases produced. CCOF Certified Organic grapes. Vegan wine. Estate grown.

Picked at different ripeness levels – some malo and some not. A cocktail! Pale, lively and so different! Bone dry with great tension. A bit of skin contact? But not excessively so. Really vital and energising. VGV (*very good value) "
