The Chardonnay has orchard stone fruit, grapefruit, citrus blossom, a hint of roasted almond and a lovely flinty note underlying.
Palate
The palate is youthful and intensely concentrated, there is a nice layer of almond meal and cashew nut from the barrel fermentation rounding out the fruit. There are layers of deeply textured and concentrated fruit. White stone fruit and pithy grapefruit weave through a tightly wound and piercingly intense, mineral finish that goes on and on.
Vinification
Handpicked between 22–28th February and whole bunch pressed. The juice was transferred to 500 litre French oak barrels for natural fermentation. A 20% portion of which were new. The wines were aged on lees in oak for a further 10 months, prior to estate bottling in late January 2026. 70% Mendoza, 30% P58.
Cellaring Potential
Cellar for at least five years, the wine will go well past 10 years.
Vintage Notes
The 2025 season saw a welcomed return of warm and extended summer conditions, producing full flavoured wines with impeccable intensity and balance.
