The Wine:
A text-book vintage with cool and dry conditions which allowed us to keep fruit on the vines for longer to give greater complexity and flavour.
Multiple clones of Chardonnay were handpicked into small baskets before being basket pressed. The juice was fermented in French oak barriques (25% new). Most barrels underwent spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, while others were seeded with select strains. Frequent bâttonage was carried out for a period of two months, and malolactic fermentation was allowed to occur naturally. The wine was left to mature in the oak for nine months prior to racking, blending and bottling.
A complex and layered palate with chalky minerality, white nectarines, fresh lemon blossom and precise natural acidity. Toasty notes of macadamia nuts and a dry, textural finish.
