- A bright and refreshing coastal Chardonnay offering fresh pear, apple and grapefruit aromas layered with subtle oak. Delicately creamy with a deliciously zesty finish. A great summer led up to the vintage. However, a rain event about a week before harvest resulted in unusually humid conditions, which required careful fruit selection in some vineyards. 2021 ended up being a more challenging season than usual, however the extra work in the vineyard ultimately paid dividends with some wonderfully elegant wines being produced.
The fruit was pressed without crushing, retaining a proportion of solids in the juice after settling for 48 hours. 65% of the blend was wild yeast fermented in seasoned French oak barriques (only 6% new). 35% of the blend was tank fermented using a selected aromatic yeast. The lees were integrated throughout the wine tank before being transferred into old oak for maturation. All batches received batonnage, which imparted texture throughout the nine-month maturation period.

| Winery | The Chardonnay vines were planted in 1977, hence the name Circa 77. The estate vines are the Gingin clone, known for its small bunches and its hen and chicken’ (millerandage) berries that produce fruit of intense concentration with high natural acidity. The vines flourish in Margaret River’s renowned ancient granite soils, which have an abundance of ironstone gravel. These free-draining soils have low water and nutrient-holding capacities, providing the optimum growing conditions to balance foliage and fruit and deliver superb aroma and flavour intensity. The Indian and Southern Oceans meet here, engulfing the vineyards with fresh sea breezes, promoting natural balance. The vineyard is managed sustainably to continually improve the natural environment, focusing on soil and vine health, including biodiversity and weed management from sheep grazing. |
