Profile
Refined and quietly powerful, showing white peach, lemon curd and hazelnut carried by a cool, flinty edge. The palate moves with mineral precision, layered, textural and beautifully defined. Serious Chardonnay, built to evolve.
Fermentation
Whole-bunch pressed juice was fermented in French barriques and puncheons, the mix adding both detail and breadth. Twenty percent new oak brings gentle structure, while 30 percent malolactic and early lees work add quiet richness. Oak maturation and natural settling complete a Chardonnay of purity and poise.
Vineyards
A mature Upper Yarra site at 250m, defined by steep volcanic soils and cool nights that promote slow ripening and refined acidity. The 2024 season gave balanced fruit and a long, gentle ripening, yielding Chardonnay of purity, concentration and finesse.
Vintage
Optimal flowering and fruit set welcomed the 2024 season, followed by a warm, even ripening period in the Upper Yarra. The balance of warm days and cool nights produced Chardonnay of concentration, freshness and poise.

James Suckling 94 Points
Expressive and vibrant, with aromas of white peaches, lemon curd, almonds, pastry, flint and orange blossoms. The palate is full-bodied with a generous yet precise texture, carried by bright acidity and mineral drive. Flavors of citrus zest, nectarines, nougat and crushed stones build in layers, finishing with a saline edge. Drink or hold.
