2023 Chardonnay
Our 2023 Chardonnay was crafted from organic, hand harvested fruit from the Oak Estate vineyard located just over the fence from us.
It was whole bunch pressed and fermented in oak to create a rich and supple chardonnay. Aged in French oak for 10 months prior to bottling the finished wine exhibits a fine balance between fruit flavours and subtle oak toastiness which is velvety and smooth on the palate.
