The oak is 500L French oak puncheons (50% new) for excellent oak integration, respect of the fruit and a cool look. After 10 months on full lees in oak the wine is bottled.

Vinification
This vineyard has an excellent track record with chardonnay and we have been working with the owners since 2003. There is an obsessive attention to detail that delivers pristine hand picked fruit perfect for whole bunch pressing. After chilling in a cold room overnight we press the whole clusters of chardonnay direct to barrel: no clarifying, no acid added, no yeast.

The Wine Front, October 2016
It has a fair whack of struck match a la
mode with a side of bacon, ripe grapefruit,
melon, and spicy oak. It’s cool and flinty,
grapefruit softened by almond, a light
glycerol feel, zesty lime rind and a long
flinty finish. Feel the fresh cool breeze of
Southern Margaret River in your mouth.
Very very good.

James Halliday Wine Companion 2018, August 2017
Karriedale is the coolest and southernmost part of the Margaret River, and the wine proclaims that origin loud and clear with its tangy, zesty fruit driving it at high speed across the palate and into the long aftertaste. Its purity is quite exceptional.
