Fruit was sourced from Red Hill sub region, hand-picked and whole-bunch pressed to French oak (2nd use), wild-fermented, no stirring but left on gross lees for additional texture, no mlf, matured for 12 months. No fining and minimal addition of sulphur prior to bottling.

Pink grapefruit, lemon peel and showing some fennel seed characters on the nose. It’s a fairly tight palate with more of the citrus fruits showing on the palate, tangy, fresh and chalky, with some pithy bitterness, and a long firm finish offering plenty of zing. While there are layers of flavour and a depth to this Chardonnay, it doesn’t come across as too big/much and in my humble option it's just right. - Cornelis Ribbe
