Meet the newest vintage of our fan-favourite Chardonnay. For complexity, completeness, and balance, they achieve a diversity of ripeness by using the traditional method of harvesting the fruit a number of different times during the ripening period. The earlier harvests contribute acidity and minerality, and the later harvests contribute flesh and richness. The whole-cluster press all of the grapes, then ferment and age the wine in seasoned French oak barrels, with only native yeast. No battonage (lees stirring) or racking. They allow two-fifths of the barrels to go through malo-lactic fermentation.
The moderate alcohol and mouthwatering acidity that is a trademark of that vineyard is very much present, balanced by a riper luscious creaminess.
2601 cases produced. CCOF Certified Organic grapes. Vegan wine. Estate grown.
Shellfish, Chicken, Pork, Cheese
Golden Delicious apples, yellow peaches, musk melon, and honey greet the nose and persist through to the palate.
Medium acidity is balanced by pleasant fleshiness, finishing very clean with a hint of minerality.
