TASTING NOTES

APPEARANCE

Pale straw in colour.

AROMA

Fresh aromas of lemon zest, white peach, nectarines and flint with an underlying spice.

PALATE

The palate has a delicate texture from lees stirring, barrel fermentation and maturation on full lees in seasoned puncheons and 2500L foudres. The wine is long and precise with a mouth-watering minerality on the finish.

VINTAGE NOTES

The 2025 growing season was characterised by warm dry days. The elevation of our vineyards allowed for some relief with cooler nighttime temperatures than other areas in the valley. The heat ensured faster ripening with lower than average yields resulting in great intensity of flavour, maintaining acidity until harvest. The 2025 Eden Valley Chardonnay was harvested from Block 22 on the 11th of February and Block 69 on the 19th of February.

VINIFICATION

The grapes were harvested in the cool early hours of the morning and immediately pressed. The juice was allowed to settle for 24 hours before being racked off heavy solids to 50% seasoned puncheons and 50% tank for fermentation. After fermentation the tank portion was transferred to 2500L foudres and allowed to mature on lees whilst the Puncheons were kept on full lees with regularly stirring. After 9 months the wine was blended, stabilised and filtered prior to bottling.
