Quick Overview

Situated between 250 – 280m above sea level, this 17 year old, site-specific vineyard is planted to both Burgundian and Davis clone Chardonnay. East-facing Hutton and Glenrosa soils, innovative canopy management and low crop levels ensure that the vineyard produces smaller berries with concentrated citrus flavours.

Product Description

Crushed and pressed immediately after de-stemming, the juice was barrel-fermented in traditional 228 litre new French oak barrels from selected Burgundian cooperages. The barrels were inoculated with French yeast. A percentage of the wine went through natural fermentation. Differing stylistically from the varietal Jordan Chardonnay, the wine was matured “sur lie” for 12 months, with regular barrel rolling to accentuate the rich, leesy character.
