Colour: Bright deep lemon. Nose: Vanilla, lemon zest, pistachios, lime blossom. Palate: Extended lees contact adds a creaminess and complexity, presenting an appealing length of palette. Full mouth feel, crisp clean acidity highlighting ripe grapefruit and limes.

Following harvesting the berries are cooled to 5ºC prior to a whole bunch press using the “Champagne” press cycle. After clarifying over-night pressed juice was transferred to 225 litre French oak barrels (90% new barrels, 10% 2nd fill) for fermentation. Our Reserve Chardonnay was 100% barrel fermented, using natural yeast with extended lees contact and daily batonnage. We undertook a barrel selection of our Chardonnay production to create this exceptional wine. 100% of this wine underwent malolactic fermentation.
