These grapes are taken from our 1987-planted Chardonnay vines. We lovingly nurture and harvest all the grapes by hand, before passing them on to our winemaker, Peter Dredge. Pete is all about minimal intervention in the winery and simply allows the vineyard to speak for itself. He takes whole bunches of grapes and presses them straight into hand-selected and pre-seasoned French oak barrels (about 10% new oak). The wine is left to mature on yeast lees for 9 months, before being bottled without fining agents.
What we love most about this wine, besides its absolute drinkability, is how wonderfully versatile it is. Enjoy it on its own, or pair it with cheese, chicken, seafood, pasta, roast vegetables, soup, even fried food... the options are almost endless.
2024 is a vintage to celebrate - this wine will happily sleep and continue to evolve beautifully in your cellar for 3-5 years. The only downside... this is a very small batch, single vineyard wine, so stock is highly limited. Seriously, grab some while you can!
A stupendous wine. Intense taut and exhilarating. Grapefruit, stone fruit and spicy notes mingling with some savoury tones. We tasted it alongside a premier cru Chablis and it held its own.
