Tasting Note

Hand-picked fruit, whole bunch pressed, the free run only was drained and 100% fermented in French oak barrels (13% new oak), majority being larger 500L puncheons. Post ferment the wine was left on lees in barrel for partial malolactic fermentation while stirring regularly to build texture. The 2025 vintage shows white peach, fresh cream, green lemon and nougat, laced with a flinty reduction and grapefruit. Perfectly ripe fruit sits at the centre. A terrific phenolic line adds detail and drive, with the site’s natural acidity perfectly pitched to steer a deeply long and complex palate.

Review

" Combining intensity with thrilling verve is a bit of a trademark here, with all the winemaking tools that make chardonnay so compelling, but each exercised with due restraint. White nectarine, lemon curd and yellow grapefruit are accented with salted praline, roasted hazelnuts and crystallised ginger, the balance of textural sway, fruit intensity, acid verve and fine pithiness are à point, the quiet power of it impressive. Excellent.."
