Description

Grape Variety: 100% Chardonnay

Region: 100% Limestone Coast

Winemaker: Corey Ryan

Vineyards:

Sourced from established vineyards in the coastal Robe district of the limestone coast. The sheltered aspect and consistent temperatures combine to ensure the retention of natural acidity in the elegant fruit harvested.

Winemaking:

Picked partially by hand. The majority of the blend was vinified in stainless steel with high solids and oxidative handling with fifteen barrel fermented with lees stirring. About forty percent was aged in medium toast two and three year old French oak barriques for six months to add complexity before full malolactic fermentation.

Vintage 2024:

South Australian regions experienced a very dry growing season for the 2024 vintage. Frost, the lack of rain and poor weather during flowering has resulted in lower yields, however, the dry and consistent weather during picking resulted in a vintage of high-quality fruit.

Tasting Note:

Tasting Note:

Deep yellow in appearance, this wine features an aromatic nose of stone fruit and citrus, accented by creamy vanillin oak notes.

The mouthfeel is rich and full, with fresh stone fruit character and well-integrated oak delivering impressive flavour and a creamy finish. This is a seamless and unapologetically flavorful Chardonnay with great taste, freshness, and a lasting finish.

Pair it with pork tonkatsu ramen.
