Possibly our favourite Chardonnay. Full bodied, vibrant acidity, subtle flavours of honey and sugared almonds but balanced and refined citrus notes keep this wine fresh.

All grapes are picked at optimum ripeness in the early hours of the morning. They are then packed into a cold room to be chilled further for processing the following day. The grapes are whole bunch pressed, which reduces the absorption of coarse phenolics and helps retain more of the grape’s natural vibrancy. The juice is not settled but sent directly to three and 400-liter French oak barrels where spontaneous wild yeast fermentation takes place. No Sulphur is added, and the wine typically undergoes a high degree of
malolactic fermentation. The wine is matured on its yeast lees for 7 months after which it is blended to tank, then returned to barrel for a further 4 months. The wine spends 11 months in barrel before finally being returned to tank for a gentle filtration and stabilization before bottling.

The perfect partner for grilled fish, creamy Alfredo pasta, and salads. The freshness of the wine also makes it ideal for mild, aromatic curries.
