This wine is a real treat for the senses! This Chardonnay offers a delicious combination of ripe orange marmalade flavours, rounded out by an elegant full bodied, toasty finish from the French oak. The grapes came from our stunning Shingle Pit vineyard in the Esk Valley and our home block vineyard in Bay View. This wine is barrel fermented, which means the grapes are pressed and fermented and then aged in French oak barrels. This process adds depth and complexity. We also do some lees stirring which gives the wine a generous, creamy mouthfeel. Plus, it undergoes malolactic fermentation, which transforms sharper malic acid into softer lactic acid. This little magic trick helps create a more rounded and drinkable style that’s just delightful.
