This deep, powerful Chardonnay is the finest we’ve produced. To appreciate the intensity of the wine, it’s worth mentioning that the yields were a tiny 144g/vine, which equates to only 12 hectolitre per hectare! To give some context, Australian Chardonnay is almost always cropped in kilos per vine and the maximum yield for grand cru Burgundy is at least 40hl/ha. So, it’s no surprise that this is a wine of huge drive and length.

Expect loads of ruby grapefruit and quince, some creamy lees and, as the wine is given air, an exotic note comes through, as well as a salinity to the finish that we find typical of our place. The wine was made very simply, pressed and sent to barrel and Wineglobe (glass fermenter) with all of its lees, for both primary and full malolactic fermentation. Three quarters of the wine was fermented and aged in glass vessels and there was also one new 228-litre Stockinger barrique. The wine was bottled at the end of September 2024.

Alcohol: 12.9%. Closure: Diam. Only 974 bottles produced.
