- A vibrant, multi-layered Chardonnay that tantalizes the senses with its pronounced flavours of pineapple and orange zest intertwined with the crispness of jicama and the refreshing essence of sea spray, culminating in a lingering, exquisite finish. This wine results from a dry winter with below-average rainfall and a cool spring that kept the vines dormant until late March. The dry and cool spring months further contributed to the unique character of the grapes, resulting in low yields and small berries. As the vines reached full canopy later in the season, the fruit matured uniformly, enhancing its flavours, colour, and texture. The harvesting process, which commenced on August 13th, benefited from ideal, temperate weather conditions throughout the picking season.
The bunches were whole cluster pressed, and following cold settling for 24 hours, the juice was racked off its gross lees. A long, cool fermentation took place with selected yeasts. The wine was aged on its fine lees without stirring, imparting gentle texture. Maturation took place in stainless steel tanks for four to six months to retain the purity of fruit and the nuances of the terroir, and malolactic conversion was prevented from retaining the crisp style.
This is a fresh, textured, and complex Chardonnay with expressive notes of pineapple and orange zest layered with a touch of jicama and sea spray, which leads to a long, exquisite finish.

| Winery | The Chardonnay grapes come from the Sonoma Valley AVA, a subregion of Sonoma County. Sonoma Valley lies between the Mayacamas Mountains to the east and Sonoma Mountains to the west. Its sheltered position between the hills influences the climate, resulting in a dry, warm, sunny microclimate moderated by its proximity to San Pablo Bay to the south. The estate vines are Robert Young clones grafted onto rootstock 101-14. The vines are planted in the estate's deep, fertile Huichica loam soils. The vines are VSP trained on a bilateral spur-pruned cordon and are sustainably farmed. Generally, leaf coverage is left on the fruiting zone of the vine to minimise any potential sunburn and keep the fruit fresh and balanced with acidity, resulting in vibrant wines full of natural freshness. The vines are hand-harvested in the cool of the night. |
