Vinification
The parcels of Chardonnay were harvested in a three week period starting early March 2017. The fruit was harvested at night into small picking bins and gently pressed using a bag press. In order to increase complexity a parcel of the wine was barrel fermented and returned to tank after fermentation. Post fermentation the wine was lees stirred in tank for 10 weeks, prior to stabilisation and blending.

Halliday Wine Companion 2019
A wine in very different style to its varietal sibling, with more oak involved, and more extract.
