Tasting note
Voluptuous and expressive, this wine shows fresh almond pastry, pink grapefruit zest, and roasted hazelnut aromatics. Wild fermentation with full solids adds a flinty complexity and the extended time on fine lees contributes a delicious savoury character to the palate which is powerful yet defined by a fine frame of natural acidity.
Unique Selling Point
Chardonnay with focus, purity and longevity.
Viticulture
Located on the bend of the Margaret River, this old vineyard grows on unique micaceous and granitic soils. The Chardonnay rows are on a steep, northerly aspect running in a northwest, southeast orientation. The river channels the Ocean breeze providing a unique microclimate.
Vinification
Small, concentrated bunches were hand-picked and whole-bunch pressed, with juice run straight to oak on full solids. Native yeast fermentation took place in French oak barriques (around 40% new). Batonnage was guided by flavour, with no MLF to preserve natural acidity. The wine was racked to tank in November and bottled in January 2024.
