Estate Chardonnay 2022

Picked in early March the fruit for this wine was handpicked from our Main block. It was whole bunch pressed and cold settled to give a roughly clarified juice and then racked to a mixture of new and one year old barrels which were mostly of French oak. The juice then went through a 100% wild ferment. The resulting wine was matured in oak and then bottled with a minimum of filtration and no use of fining agents*.

*Fining agents are protein based compounds used to reduce the level of phenolics in the wine so it is vegan friendly.
