Classic cool-climate Chardonnay, with lifted aromas of white blossom, pear and grapefruit, leading to an energetic palate full of white nectarine, citrus and subtle vanilla toasty notes, wrapped up in a tightly wound core of acidity.
The estate Chardonnay vines are clones Mendoza, P58, I10V5, which vary in age from five to 22 years. They are cane pruned VSP trained, which suits the terroir made up of Duplex grey loam over yellow clay soils. Each vintage, the use of precision viticulture is used to map and isolate the finest parcels from the best blocks and even the best rows. Such practices include innovative soil and canopy mapping technology known as EM38; this enables the viticulture team to unearth microvariations within the parcels. The vineyard is machine and hand harvested.
The Chardonnay grapes were barrel fermented with a combination of wild and selected yeasts, lasting 10 to 14 days. The wine did not go through malolactic conversion. It was racked to 500-litre French oak puncheons, of which 20% were new, where it spent nine months maturing.
