Vinification
Our finest chardonnay fruit comes from two vineyards, one is our most southern vineyard near Witchcliffe and the other is a stunning north facing slope located in the area of Metricup. The fruit was carefully hand picked and whole bunch pressed in the cool of the early morning, in small 2-3 tonne batches. The first 500L/t of juice was run off directly to barrel, with no additions made to the juice. The fermentation for this wine occurred naturally with indigenous yeasts i.e. "wild" fermented. No acid or fining agents were added to the wine during production whatsoever.

Maturation
All barrels had SO2 added immediately post fermentation with no MLF allowed to occur. The lees were stirred monthly and the wine was matured for eight months in oak. All of the barrels used were French with a mixture of barriques (225L) and larger format oak (300- 500L). Approximately 30% of the oak was new with the remaining two thirds made up of one and two-year old barrels.

Appearance
Pale straw colour with green tints.

Nose
A fragrant bouquet of white flowers, nectarine and pear with underlying cashew and citrus notes.

Palate
The palate is medium-full bodied with stone fruit and fresh citrus flavours and creamy biscuit characters from lees influence. The wine has an elegant, refined structure and finishes with fine mineral acidity.
