Winemaking
The fruit for our 2023 Reserve Chardonnay is sourced from a single vineyard in the
Barossa Valley. Sun drenched days and meticulous attention in the vineyard,
produced optimum fruit flavours and physiological ripeness. The parcel was
harvested in the cool of the night in late February and delivered to the winery for
processing. The grapes were then gently pressed into French oak Puncheons where
fermentation occurred with the assistance of Burgundian yeast strains. Following
fermentation, the wine was aged sur lie (with monthly battonage) for 8 months and
bottled with minimal fining.
Peak drinking

Region
Barossa Valley, SA.
Food pairing
Delightful as an aperitif, but also pairs wonderfully with fresh and cooked shellfish.

"Wheaty aromas with a trace iof smoky reduction; the palate opens with an impression of slight sweetness then some chewy tannins chime in and clean the finish, but leave it slightly grippy."
