Mouth-wateringly creamy flavours of lemon curd and jasmine are cradled by lightly toasted oak. A beautifully fruity, textured and mouth-filling chardonnay, it’s masterfully constructed and incredibly more-ish. Teams up brilliantly with roast chicken, pork and ginger gyoza or hard goats cheese.
This Chardonnay leaps from the glass with lots of citrus notes such as grilled limes, pomelo and grapefruit, with a hint of savoury burnt butter sage.
100% Chardonnay
The juice was settled for 24 hours then racked to predominantly 2-5 year old French oak barriques with 15% going into new French Puncheons where it underwent fermentation. Some parcels underwent wild fermentation while others were inoculated with selected cultivated strains. Following ferment, the wine remained on yeast lees for 8 months prior to careful blending. No malolactic fermentation.
This wine is elegant and well balanced with a lingering crunchy acidity that ties all the elements together, including a lightly toasted nut character from the French oak. The palate is fruity, textured and mouth-filling, with a long cleansing finish.
We hand-picked each parcel at optimum ripeness, whole bunch pressed using an airbag press, and minimized phenolic extraction which allowed us to do minimal fining additives later on in the process.

For us Chardonnay is all about balance. Firstly and most crucially the vineyards we select are meticulously cared for, and grow fruit with a natural balance between the main elements of wine-sugar, flavour, and acidity. Our job is to harness these elements and nurture the fruit through the winemaking process, coaxing out texture through regular lees stirring. This wine pairs well with many of your favourite dishes, weaving elegantly around flavours without dominating your palate.
