Fermentation took place in old French oak barriques for around 6 months, with no malolactic fermentation. 40% of the final blend underwent wild fermentation in barrel. The barrel ferments are aged on lees, some of which is added to increase the mouthfeel, and add a bit of minerality which helps the wine age gracefully. There is no racking until final blending.
This wine is brimming with stone fruit, lemon curd and cut straw aromas. It’s a textural, refreshing Chardonnay, with pithy grapefruit and white peach flavours strewn across the palate. The finish is tangy and long, concluding with gentle phenolic grip.
