Please note: Award stickers are applied at the producer's discretion and may not be present on all bottles.

The juice is vinified in a Biodynamic and natural way, fermented with wild vineyard specific yeasts, without the use of enzymes or fining agents. Matured in French oak barrels for 11-12 months, bottled unfiltered and further left to mature for approximately a year prior to release.

Harvested from a naturally low yielding single vineyard, 9 different Chardonnay clones were planted almost 30 years ago. With narrow rows and high density planting (approximately 5000 plants per hectare), conventional equipment can’t be used, and therefore everything gets done by hand, including spraying our natural preparations with back packs. With an annual rainfall of approximately 600ml per annum, dry land farming is practiced. Biodynamic (organic) practises are followed and no herbicides or chemical sprays are used in the production of these grapes.
