2024 'flora flora' Flor Chardonnay.

FARM Organic fruit from Toolamba (Yorta Yorta Country). The last harvest before the vineyard was ripped out. GRAPES 100% Chardonnay. Wild fermented. Zero additions. Zero sulphur. Unfined. Unfiltered. 11.5% Alc/vol. FIELD Wild fermented on a hillside without power. 12 days maceration. Barrel-aged for two years under flor. Hand-bottled by gravity. TASTING Oxidative pink peppercorn, pear, quince and fresh apricot nose. Deep apricot jam and fig palate. Savoury apricot kernel and popping flor-acidity finish. DRINKING NOTE Given that this wine was left under flor and has had a very intimate journey with oxygen, it has the potential to mature into something truly special over a few years. This is one to cellar if you have the chance. Label art by Matt Purbrick.
