Grown on our leased Williatts Lane vineyard at 540m elevation, this Chardonnay was barrel-fermented with wild yeast, matured in French oak (25% new), and put through full malolactic fermentation. A careful barrel selection showed enough poise and finesse to stand apart, earning its own bottling separate to our regular Chardonnay, which also includes fruit from Pipers Creek.
“This is spot on, and has x-factor. It offers up classic stone fruit, green melon, green mango characters but there’s something else going on, a barely there touch of fino sherry, some saline minerality. a little pudge of honey-butter-cinnamon toast. Yum. It works the magic of chardonnay with flavour while having the cut of cool, saline minerality. Mea cupla I poured a lusty glass post tasting.”
