Ageing Potential
Drinking wonderfully now, this wine will age well up to five years.
Vineyard
Fruit is sourced from 25-year-old vines in Charleston, Adelaide Hills. This area has a very cool climate, with the vineyard well looked after and the soils perfectly suited to growing premium Chardonnay.
Vinification
The fruit for this release was pressed and split into four portions: oak with natural ferment, oak for ferment with inoculated non-saccharomyces yeasts, oak for sequential ferment with inoculated non-saccharomyces yeasts to start and with inoculated saccharomyces to finish, and stainless steel tank, inoculated with saccharomyces. Each portion had different characteristics and flavours and were re-blended back together for bottling, which has resulted in a complex and layered Chardonnay.
