Hand-picked, whole bunch pressed in a combination of direct to barrel or tank then barrel. 100% barrel fermented in a combination of new (35%) and seasoned French oak, mostly barriques, from various coopers.
Fermented with a combination of inoculated (30%) and ambient yeasts (70%), 80% malolactic, no additions. Élevage took place for the most part without sulphur for up to six months. The various components were assembled just prior to the following vintage and aged for a further 6 months before a light filtration and bottling. Sealed in screwcap.

100% Chardonnay
Following the challenging 2022 and 2023 vintages, 2024 started with lower than normal cropping potential and this carried through to the final production level. The long, cool, sunny autumn combined with these light crops meant a slightly later harvest to allow acid levels to drop to the right level. This coincided with slightly higher than normal natural alcohols to get the balance right. The fruit was in pristine condition.

Drink 2026–2028

A delicious, complex Chardonnay with beautifully ripe stonefruit, citrus and cashew nut characters, finishing long with a pithy like texture.
