Grape Varietals & Region: From the heart of Metricup, Margaret River. Twenty two year old 'gin-gin' chardonnay grown in a sandy loam topsoil over a mottled clay subsoil
Taste Profile: Attractive bouquet of white peach, grilled nectarine, flint and raw cashew. Bright and fresh, excellent intensity and drive, plenty of mealy nougat complexity building towards the finish line. Finishes long and mealy
Winemaking Process: The fruit hand picked, chilled, hand selected and then whole bunch pressed prior to fermentation in ten barriques, two of which were new. The wine undergoes a full malolactic fermentation with fortnightly lees stirring prior to maturation for 10 months in barrique prior to blending. The wine is bottled un-fined with a light filtration
