- Winemaking Notes
Our desire is to showcase Chardonnay’s strengths of delicious mouthfeel and length with it’s unique ability to effortlessly incorporate winemaking complexity and still maintain fruit purity. One of the truly great grape varieties

Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.- Growing Conditions
Steady rainfall throughout June and July filled the soil profile. August was drier than average and led into a warm start to September. Flowering began in early November but continued over an extended period due to the cooler than usual conditions followed by one of the driest December on record Ideal ripening conditions prevailed throughout February and March – warm daytime and cool night-time temps, moderate relative humidity, minimal rain and no heat waves. The warm dry conditions meant the grapes achieved physiological ripeness and were able to be harvested and taken into the winery at the optimal time. The resulting wines are vibrant, with bright fruit flavours and lovely natural acidity.
