As a single site wine, their Eden Valley Chardonnay will always show typicity of the vineyard, whilst varying with what each season brings. They are on a constant learning journey adapting to what the season brings. Their Chardonnay is a serious interpretation, from an excellent vintage.

Ample winter rainfall and a mild spring allowed for a great start to the season, with a decent canopy developing. This provided adequate protection for, and capacity to ripen the fruit. As the season progressed, short frequent irrigations ensured the lean soils retained enough moisture. Autumn was long and relatively cool allowing for steady ripening with the retention of acidity so crucial to Chardonnay. Fruit was pressed on arrival at the winery. The juice was then cool fermented, with a neutral wine yeast to dryness, in a combination of new and old French oak. Partial malolactic fermentation and regular lees stirring has helped to build the delicious creamy texture in this wine. - Jules Ashmead and Brock Harrison
