About the Wine:
Hand harvested fruit from our “Tin Shed” vineyard was gently pressed and the juice fermented with indigenous yeasts in a combination of new 228- and 500-litre French oak barriques and puncheons. Malolactic fermentation was encouraged to soften the acidity and impart further richness. The wine spent 14 months on yeast lees building further texture and complexity.
Scents of white peach, ripe grapefruit, and citrus blossom combine with toasty/nutty oak aromas to produce a complex and engaging bouquet. The wine is rich and concentrated in the mouth yet remains focused and composed with outstanding persistence and length of flavour. Stone fruit, citrus, and toasty oak flavours, gently drying phenolics and a fine backbone of acidity combine effortlessly to produce a seamless, harmonious palate with a mouthwatering finish.
A fabulous wine of exquisite balance, poise and tension that encapsulates what great Chardonnay is all about.
Drink 2023 to 2033.
