About

Chardonnay is the 2nd most planted white grape on the planet, grown in every major wine growing country. Known as a chameleon that can be expressed in many ways depending on the region & winemaker, we believe it expresses its best in cooler areas such as the Adelaide Hills.

Winemaking

Vintage Conditions

The 2023/2024 season began with a wet and windy spring, continuing rain into summer that saturated soil moisture levels. February and March provided perfect conditions, with mild days and nights allowing fruit to ripen beautifully. Vintage started in mid-February, with most blocks harvested in March, marking a return to the norm, albeit with below-average yields.

Maker Notes

10 months maturation in French oak, approximately 20% new. Partial malolactic fermentation.
