2024 Chardonnay
This is Nic Peterkin’s fourth crack at fruit from this certified organic site in Metricup, and by now he knows exactly how to let it shine. It’s Gin Gin clone again, off 24-year-old vines grown on sandy loam over clay. Compared to Wildberry Springs, it’s a different beast - more inland, a touch warmer by day, but those cooling ocean breezes still roll in like clockwork.
Everything was done by hand, of course. Picked, sorted, whole-bunch pressed, then straight into barrel for ferment. Full malo, regular lees stirring, ten months in oak (just a couple of new ones in the mix), and bottled without any funny business - just a light filter.
It’s got a bit more weight and softness than its Wildberry sibling, but still feels fresh and balanced. There’s richness here, sure, but it’s never heavy - more of a slow burn. One of those wines you sip, nod quietly, then realise half the bottle’s gone.
