Growing Conditions
The Chardonnay from our Frankland River vineyard is 100% barrel fermented and matured in French oak, gaining creamy texture and complexity from regular lees stirring for a further 6 months. Layers of citrus and white stone fruit sit atop the creamy flavours and texture, and are balanced by beautifully seasoned oak and bright lemony acidity.
Harvest
The grapes were harvested at optimum ripeness.

Layers of citrus and white stone fruit sit atop the creamy flavours and texture, and are balanced by beautifully seasoned oak and bright lemony acidity.Fermentation was done in French oak barriques with a moderate turbidity to help build palate texture and weight. Following fermentation the wine batches remained in the French oak barriques on lees for 6 months to build further complexity and structure.
