Winemaker:  Erinn Klein

Winemaking: 'The Chardonnay grapes are gently hand harvested, then whole bunch pressed, with minimal settling into French oak barriques and puncheons of which thirty percent are new barrels. Fermentation began spontaneously with wild yeast and followed by a natural malolactic fermentation. The wine matured on lees for nine months with no battonage. A small dose of sulphur was added prior to bottling. No enzymes, no fining.'

ABV: 13.5%

Volume: 750ml

Serving Suggestion: 14 - 16 degrees

'This pale lemon-yellow Chardonnay balances power and finesse. The nose reveals layers of stone fruit, gently complemented by orange citrus and floral Spring blossoms. The palate offers creamy textures, with flavours of yellow peach, lemon zest, and subtle vanilla and cashew. The oak is well-integrated, supporting ample fruit intensity, while good natural acidity keeps it vibrant. Complex yet approachable, it’s drinking beautifully now.' - winemakers notes
