Tasting Notes 

A fresh and delicate nose with light fruits and yeasty tones, complimented by a hint of fresh berries and cream. The Chardonnay offers both complexity and fruit on the palate, whilst the Pinot Noir brings an elegance and sophistication to complete the overall package. A lovely, fresh wine with a lingering bead and a persistent length.

Technical Notes 

This wine was crafted from 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir grapes, chosen from our three best performing vineyards. Grapes were picked and crushed during the cool of night to retain their fresh, varietal flavours. The juice was then divided into three select parcels. Each parcel underwent a different treatment such as malolactic fermentation fermentation and time with French oak or spending an extended period on yeast lees. Each treatment resulted in an individually flavoured parcel of wine, and the unique character and personality of the final blend is a result of the special handling of these separate parcels. It’s a wrap for another season and once again Mother Nature has dished us out a few challenges! Due to an extremely hot January vintage began a week or two later than normal, and once we got picking whites and reds rolled in at a cracking pace. White yields were lower than anticipated whilst reds were on par with previous years. Overall it was another great vintage with bright and fresh whites and beautifully coloured, rich reds.
