Chardonnay 2023

The grapes were harvested in the cool of the night from an elevated vineyard in McLaren Vale. The fruit was basket pressed and after settling overnight was racked into a tank with some solids remaining. Fermentation started naturally 2 days later and the wine was matured in oak allowing it to develop delicate mineral characters to enhance the palate weight. The wine remained fresh, crisp and bright through into bottling in November.

Vineyard positioned at the highest point of McLaren Vale boarding the Adelaide hills, the most optimal climate for growing chardonnay. Charles has worked with this vineyard previously and particularly loves the fruit it grows. This vineyard is Burgundy clone vineyard.
