Tasting Notes
Aroma
Bright and fruit driven, this Chardonnay shows classic aromas of white
stone fruit and melon, with complexing notes of sweet spices, roasted
cashew and nougat from the careful use of oak.
Appearance
Bright, pale straw.
Palate
The palate is delicate and bright, with minerality and a grapefruit like
acidity. A supple and delicate talcy texture accompanies stone fruit
flavours that flow through the palate. Overall, a beautifully balanced
Chardonnay with generosity and depth of flavour.
Vinification
Our Chardonnay fruit comes from a few different vineyards, including
Credaro Wilyabrup and Carbunup. The fruit is pressed in the cool of
early morning to preserve vibrancy and fruit flavour. Fermentation
occurred naturally with wild indigenous yeasts and no fining agents
were used during production. All barrels had SO₂ added at varying
stages post fermentation and no malolactic fermentation was allowed.
Lees were stirred monthly and the wine was matured for nine months in
oak. All barrels were French, with a mix of barriques (225L) and larger
puncheons (500L), approximately 20% of which were new.
Cellaring Potential
3-5 years.
Vintage Notes
After a late, cool season in vintage 2023 and good winter rainfall, the
vines had excellent natural energy reserves, resulting in healthy
budburst, flowering and an average crop across most varieties. The 2024
season was generally very early, characterised by consistently warm
weather and no rainfall. As a result, water was a critical resource and
consideration during vintage 2024 to ensure the vines remained healthy
and vibrant and it placed great importance on harvest timing. However,
there were some cool nights, and a key consideration is that the grapes
spent fewer nights on the vine ripening. This led to an amazingly bright
and fresh acidity in aromatic white varieties, including Chardonnay.
Marri blossom was abundant for most of the season, which meant
minimal bird pressure was observed.
