Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Very low yielding Bernard Chardonnay clone vines were handpicked into small baskets before being whole bunch pressed. The juice was fermented in a mix of new and old French oak barriques, with partial wild ferment.
Frequent lees stirring was carried out for a period of two months, and malolactic fermentation allowed to occur spontaneously. The wine was left to mature in the oak for 15 months prior to racking and bottling.
Vineyard Notes
The fruit for this wine is sourced from old vines within a single vineyard situated at 550m in the famously cool Adelaide Hills. The altitude of this particular site ensures cool conditions during ripening, ideal for delivering freshness and elegance.
