2025 Estate Chardonnay

This Chablis-inspired wine is made from our Estate single clone Chardonnay. Hand picked on September 3rd, yielding 2 ton/acre. The grapes were whole cluster pressed and fermentation started with a classic Burgundy yeast. The wine was fermented and aged in stainless steel and 6 year old neutral French Oak, with 3/4 of the wine completing malolactic fermentation. Appearance: Light gold colour, reflecting the wine's young age and minimal oak influence. Nose: Elegant with a focus on the minerality and classic Chardonnay fruit characteristics. Look for notes of citrus and green apple, hints of white flowers, wet stone minerality. Palate: Light-bodied, fresh and with vibrant acidity. You will pick up lemon, green apple, and mineral notes. The finish is crisp and clean, leaving a refreshing aftertaste with a lingering hint of minerality. Food pairings: grilled white fish, lemon yogurt Greek chicken, Délice de Bourgogne cheese, or lemon garlic prawns. Only 130 cases made. Alcohol 12.9% RS: 1.14 g/L TA: 5.93 g/L pH: 3.45
