HARVEST A small parcel of carefully tended vines of Chardonnay fruit was harvested from the Tolley Vineyard in Woodside in March 2022.
WINEMAKING Hand picked grapes were gently whole pressed to seasoned French oak barrels using free-run juice only. A high solids, wild fermentation followed, giving the wine texture and complexity. The wine then underwent Malo-lactic fermentation with weekly batonage (stirring) for 6 months before bottling.
CHARACTER Strongly aromatic with hints of stone fruit, cashew and spice. A full bodied style with subtle and restrained oak.
