Winery | The Reserve Chardonnay comes 100% from the Lagan Estate vineyard, the oldest vineyard on the estate and is situated next to the winery. It exemplifies the power and poise of the Gingin clone in one of the best areas of Margaret River for Chardonnay. The low-yielding vineyard produces bunches with characteristic ‘hen and chicken’ architecture typical of the Gingin clone, producing 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, focussing on soil and vine health, including biodiversity and weed management from sheep grazing. |
