Chardonnay made properly; top-quality grapes, hand-picking, barrel fermentation, wild yeast and plenty of love. Long, complex and packed with creamy deliciousness.
GROWING & MAKING: Chardonnay from my mate Ben’s epic vineyard in the middle of Wilyabrup. Hand-picked grapes were gently whole bunch pressed, the cloudy juice was then fermented in French oak using wild yeast. Bright and vibrant with a core of intense fruit - grapefruit, white peach and lemon zest - along with oatmeal and a savoury funk. 30% new French oak adds a subtle hint of vanilla and creamy weight to the palate. Crisp acidity is offset against a textural mouthfeel and a long lingering finish. Chardonnay done right; this is is bright and refreshing, yet layered, long and complex and most importantly delicious.
Unfined, unfiltered; minimal mucking about. Vegan.
ALCOHOL: 12.9%
