Grape Variety

Chardonnay 

Maturation

The chardonnay was crushed, pressed and transferred with solids, into tight grain 500L French oak puncheons (20% new) to undergo natural fermentation. It was then left to mature on lees for 11 months, without malolatic fermentation proceeding until bottling in February 2017.

Oaked
Palate

The palate is fine and complex, with great poise and concentration of flavour. Tightly wound together with a precise minerality, the wine has beautiful line and length.

Vinification

Each parcel of chardonnay was carefully handpicked on 13 February (Blocks 1 & 4) and 15 February (Block 6), in pristine condition. Every parcel was handled separately in the winery, with minimal intervention.

James Halliday Wine Companion 2018, August 2017
Four clones (Mendoza, P58, 96 and 76), hand-picked, whole bunch-pressed, wild-fermented (no mlf) in French puncheons (20% new), matured for 11 months. Terrific drive, focus and length, mouthwatering in its intensity. Pink grapefruit and white fleshed stone fruit are at the centre of attention.

Made from four clones of chardonnay, this is a deliciously elegant, nervy and tangy white wine. It is similar in style to the 2011 single vineyard chardonnay even though the vintage conditions couldn't be any more different (2016 was a very early harvest, 2011 very late), and it should age just as well: the 2011 is utterly beguiling and entrancingly complex right now.
