TASTING NOTES

Delight in the intricate layers of flavour within this vintage, where the essence of yellow and pink grapefruit harmonize to create a refreshing and pure expression of Chardonnay. Crafted with meticulous care, the wine underwent fermentation and maturation in carefully chosen French Oak puncheons, imparting depth and complexity to its character. Upon the palate, a soft yet poised presence unfolds, showcasing the seamless integration of flavours and
textures. The wine's graceful finish leaves a lasting impression, inviting contemplation of its nuanced elegance long after the final sip.

REGION & SEASON

WINE REGION
The Mornington Peninsula is a maritime region about 50km south-east of Melbourne city centre. The climate is moderated by sea breezes year-round and the weather is famously capricious, giving rise to Melbourne’s signature “four seasons in one day”. Summers are generally mild and autumn is warm and calm. A spine of hills runs down the centre of the peninsula and vineyards at about 200m elevation are slightly cooler than those on low lands. The region is characterised by small, family-owned vineyards. It is particularly well suited to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

WINEMAKING

Whole bunch-pressed fruit underwent fermentation in French oak barrels, with a blend of partial wild and malolactic fermentation, accompanied by regular stirring. Matured for 11 months in a mix of seasoned and new barrels.
