Wine Production
All parcels were treated in respect of the unique qualities coming from each of our vineyard sites; natural fermentation with varying solids levels, fine French Oak and battonage programs were tailored to each individual batch. Following 8 months of maturation in oak the parcels were combined to create a unique varietal Chardonnay from Margaret River. For the third year in a row, we underwent malolactic fermentation due to high acidity at harvest.
