Cuvee d' Elevage Chardonnay 2018

Winemaking The fruit for this wine was sourced from a southern Margaret River. Hand picked in the early morning, and chilled overnight in cool room the grapes were then gently whole bunch pressed directly to barrel the following day. Following a natural fermentation the wine was SO2’d to prevent malo – lactic, and stirred periodically to lift the lees from the bottom of the barrels. Following 8 months on lees the wine was empty from barrels, fined, stabilized and bottled. We set out to make a very fine elegant Chardonnay, thus the cool site, modest Baume at picking with older oak have all contributed to achieving this desired style.
