Tasting Notes
Aroma
Fresh aromas of lemon zest, white peach, nectarines
and flint with an underlying spice.
Appearance
Pale straw in colour.
Palate
The palate has a delicate texture from
lees stirring, barrel fermentation and maturation on full lees in seasoned
puncheons and 2500L foudres. The wine is long and precise with a
mouth-watering minerality on the finish.
Vinification
The 2025 Eden Valley
Chardonnay was harvested from Block 22 on the 11th of February and
Block 69 on the 19th of February. The grapes were harvested in the cool
early hours of the morning and immediately pressed. The juice was
allowed to settle for 24 hours before being racked off heavy solids to
50% seasoned puncheons and 50% tank for fermentation.
After fermentation the tank portion was transferred to 2500L foudres
and allowed to mature on lees whilst the Puncheons were kept on full
lees with regularly stirring.
After 9 months the wine was blended, stabilised and filtered prior to
bottling.
Vintage Notes
The 2025 growing season was characterised by warm dry days. The
elevation of our vineyards allowed for some relief with cooler nighttime
temperatures than other areas in the valley. The heat ensured faster
ripening with lower than average yields resulting in great intensity of
flavour, maintaining acidity until harvest.
