"The aim for this Chardonnay is to retain a fresh structure with a complex palate. It is the vineyards, wild-ferment, and barrel characters that make up the complex nose and palate.
This fruit comes from three vineyards: the Taylor Vineyard, which is in the Rapaura area, the Twin Valleys vineyard, which we have been working with since 2003 and a ten rows of Clone 1066 from the Mahi home block.
All of the vines were intensively hand-tended, and the grapes were hand-picked and then taken to the winery for whole-cluster pressing. The resulting juice went straight to French oak barrels and fermented with indigenous yeast from the fruit. After fermentation, the wine sat on yeast lees for eleven months prior to blending and bottling."
Alc 13.6%
