Winemaking

Our 2023 Metal Chardonnay heralds from the regional growing areas of Padthaway, Cowra and Barossa. The parcels are assessed and handled separately, with harvest determined when physiological ripeness, flavour development and fruit acidity is atan optimum. Harvested in the cool of the night, the parcels were delivered to our winery for chilling, de-stemming and membrane pressing, with only the free run juice retained for fermentation in a combination of stainless steel vats and French Oak puncheons. Once the parcels of Chardonnay had completed fermentation, the wines were blended and aged ‘sur lie’ for three months, allowing appropriate integration some creaminess softening via yeast autolysis. The parcel was stabilised and filtered ahead of bottling and bottle conditioning prior to release.

Sam Kim - Wine Orbit

86 Points

"It's gently lifted on the nose, showing apricot, rockmelon and lemon peel aromas, followed by a juicy palate that's smooth and rounded. Easy going and approachable with lingering fruity finish. At its best: now to 2026."

Huon Hooke - The real Review

84 Points

"Aromas of charred herbs and burnt grass, perhaps sulfur-related aromas. There is also a trace of kero starting up, and a hint of bitterness on the finish. Straightforward but dry to finish."
