A Chardonnay that just keeps getting better and better! Fresh and bright on the nose and mouth, with lemon, citrus zest and a lovely savoury salinity. This Chardonnay is a real winner to enjoy on it’s own or alongside fish and chicken dishes served with creamy lemon and dill sauces. Is your mouth watering yet?
VINTAGE
2023 weather was a rollercoaster, spring started out mild and frost free, with a lot of rain in March. Summer brought some sun along with a warmer than usual September but a rather wet July and August. Autumn was kind enough to offer a bountiful harvest and the late summer temperatures helped produce a good level of ripeness for our still wines.
WINEMAKING
The fruit was picked the first ten days of October, de-stemmed and pressed with juice going into mostly old oak barrels (75.2%) with one of the barrels having acacia heads, and the rest in stainless steel (24.8%). Partial malolactic fermentation (MLF) to reduce acids. Bottled in June 2024 and benefited from eight months on cork prior to release.
TASTING NOTE
A lovely example of a cool climate Chardonnay reminiscent of our 2020 Vintage. The nose has hints of hay and lemon. On the palate hazelnuts and apples with a faint buttery note.
