- A bright and refreshing Chardonnay with vibrant aromas of grapefruit, stone fruits, honeydew melon, a creamy texture, and a clean, fresh finish. A wetter-than-usual start to the season resulted in lower-yielding crops, which were up to 50% lower than usual in some varieties. However, the lower quantity meant the fruit quality was excellent, with vines producing intense flavour and fruit concentration.

The grapes were carefully selected and underwent cool fermentation in stainless steel tanks with selected yeasts, lasting 14 days. Lees stirring took place post-fermentation, adding texture to the resulting wine. The wine was matured on the lees for several months before bottling.

Winery | The Chardonnay grapes are sourced from premium growers in the cool climate Victorian regions of the Pyrenees and Nagambie Lakes. The Pyrenees is located at the western reach of the Great Dividing Range, with sub-valleys and lush green rolling hills it lies at a latitude of 37º, an ideal climatic band for growing grapes. The combination of red clay, quartz, sandy loam soils, cool nights, and warm days allow for slow ripening and create ideal conditions for crisp wines. Nagambie Lakes is a sub-region of the Goulburn Valley in Central Victoria, where Lake Nagambie, the Goulburn River, and many billabongs, creeks, and smaller streams shape the region's terroir. The region's mild microclimate prolongs the growing season, resulting in a long grape hang time. The region's reddish-brown soil, rich in iron oxide, is well-draining and moisture-retentive, keeping the vine hydrated while restricting excessive growth, resulting in concentrated flavours. The vines are between 10 to 40 years old and are made up of clones P58 and I10V12. |
