Grape Variety
100% Chardonnay
Maturation
Natural settling occurred overnight and the cloudy juice was then sent to French oak barrels twentyfour hours later. Wild fermentation was completed in barrel and allowed to mature on its own lees for nine months, with minimal stirring during this time, to maintain freshness and natural acidity.
Oaked
Palate
The palate is soft with fresh fruit flavours of peach and lime.

Vinification
All three parcels were hand picked on the same day and chilled overnight. The following day the grapes were tipped as whole bunches directly into our press and gently pressed off into a tank.

James Halliday Wine Companion 2018, August 2017
Estate-grown, 100% wild-fermented, matured in French oak for 9 months. Has immaculate balance and texture, so much so you feel there should be something to ruffle the surface of the wine. A silly thought really, because it's sheer pleasure to drink now.
