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. Natural settling occurred overnight and the cloudy juice was then sent to French oak barrels twenty four 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.

I like this chardonnay a lot. Smoky savoury notes on the nose, with deeper cereal and grapefruit augmented by some nice light, toasty oak. The palate shows some beautiful butterscotch and mealy grapefruit characters. It’s perfectly balanced and almost delicate in the mouth. Yet the intensity is profound.

Gin Gin, Davis and Dijon clones from the home vineyard in Wilyabrup, whole bunch-pressed, settled overnight, cloudy juice wild-fermented in French oak, matured on lees for 9 months with minimal stirring. Vibrant, zesty and fresh, with white peach and grapefruit dividing the spoils of the overall flavour set. It is terrifyingly good at its price and origin.

Jeremy Gordon has a light touch in making chardonnay, the wine with freshness and balance the keys to its personality, enhancing, rather than inhibiting, its varietal expression. Nine months in oak has simply been a tool allowing the focus to fix onto the seamless blend of white peach, melon and grapefruit and its blue sky finish.
