Viticulture and Vinification
Handpicked estate grown grapes from our Gipsy Hill vineyard were harvested manually and brought to the winery where they were destemmed, lightly crushed and then chilled to 5° C and transferred to stainless steel temperature controlled maceration tanks, for 24 hours. Following this the grapes were lightly pressed, and the juice was fully decanted at low temperatures until completely clear before being inoculated with selected yeast, and fermented for 3 weeks at 15° C. Half of the wine was then aged for 3 months on French oak staves, and put through - lees stirring- to generate depth and complexity – before being reblended with the unoaked portion and prepared for bottling.

Tasting notes
Amazing fruit and power. Ripe and thick, with lots of mango and toasted oak, a Chardonnay showing all the attributes. There's a chewy, cherry, buttery, intensely tropical side to this full-bodied wine.

We recommend this wine with
Surf & Turf.
