Alex and I have been mates a while now. I made my first wines in his shed and for a further 4 vintages thereafter. That first harvest we missed each other heaps! So we vowed to hang out more the following harvest. This sweet little thing helps us “stick” together.
We each make our own element taking portions of semi fermented grape juice and fortifying it. Once harvest settles down we blend each to produce a single barrel.

White Wine
Wow! All the wines are my heart and soul but this is my jam! Last of the cool wet years led to picking slightly earlier to preserve the integrity of the fruit. Extra elevage allowed the development of the mid palate and accentuated the chalky and crunchy oyster shell minerality that I absolutely adore. Oxygen was inhibited in this Chardonnay as opposed to the previous to compliment the site and vintage conditions. I love them both but they will satisfy different food matches and palates alike.

Cool, wet year meant picking this site a little earlier to maintain the fruit integrity. Less whole bunch than usual. The result is a bright ethereal expression. Wildly aromatic!

Extended lees contact and ripeness results in a round and unctuous expression. Lemon to lemon pith, roasted nuts and toasted brioche. More than enough acid to compliment. Resolved and in a great drinking window.
