Icon Chardonnay

Chardonnay pairs well with oily, flaky fish, chicken breast and soft or semi soft cheeses.

We experienced cool winter weather which allowed for an adequate resting phase for our vines. Some early budding was experienced, but this was soon held back by the cold weather which followed. Wind and hail during budding followed by periods of heavy rain and wind during the flowering season, affected crop quantity. A warm, dry ripening season meant less vigorous vine growth. Soil moisture had to be monitored closely to ensure perfect ripening conditions. A very good balance between stressing the vines for flavour and irrigating accordingly was achieved. Canopies were well managed to ensure the perfect canopy for ripening management. The 2024 harvest had a small and light yield with amazing flavour and quality.
