WINES

Chardonnay

An Unwooded style and produced from a single IV10 clone chardonnay block that sits at the highest point of the Mt Jagged Vineyard. The wine exhibits intense crisp aromas and tangy flavours of which apples and limes dominate with a solid acid backbone and a lovely lingering finish. It’s quite a complex chardonnay for an unwooded style.

Cellaring: Great now but will develop nicely with further bottle age around 3 - 5 years of age

Viticulture: Hand pruned with both cane and spur pruning occurring in alternate years in alternate sections of the block. The canopy is Vertically Shoot Positioned (VSP) and some summer pruning occurs to lower disease risks and give a little fruit exposure. Harvested mid-March.

Vinification: Picked at night and fermented 100% in stainless steel tanks. The wine is bottled shortly after completion to keep the flavours strong and fresh.
