2018 was a warmer year with cool spring and early summer nights which defined this vintage as one that displayed elegant fruit flavour and balanced acid.
Chardonnay was harvested from our western vineyard site with eastern-facing slopes, these blocks have some of the highest elevations across the whole vineyard. The full morning sun and natural shading in the afternoon produces premium Chardonnay with bright natural acid and exceptional drive. The Pinot Noir base wine offers texture and fruit weight which complements the Chardonnay’s crisp acid and definition.
Harvesting fruit at night and pressing immediately helps maintain the fresh vibrant flavours. After a brief cold settling, the juice was inoculated and fermented at low temperatures to maintain freshness and purity. Individual parcels were blended, including a portion aged in large format French oak before being tiraged and allowed to age in the bottle.

Made from Victorian chardonnay, pinot noir and pinot meunier from estate-grown vineyards, this is a full-flavoured fizz with good palate weight, brightness and generosity. Notes of fresh dough, cracked wheat and a touch of lemon meringue. Impressive harmony and balance, offering remarkable complexity for the price.
