Volcanic grey loam soils over weathered basalt sitting on a high plateau at 430m alt, this block of chardonnay was established in 1991 with Clone I10V5. Farmed organically, it was a generally relaxed season with minimal pressures on the viticultural front. Unfortunately quantities of the 2021 are pretty limited, over the past few years cropping levels have been lower due to lots of retraining of older vines with eutypa, It's a slow process but one that will prosper in the future (this September/October a new planting of 6000 chardonnay vines, clone: B76 is finally commencing which we're very excited about). Harvested & whole bunch pressed on 2/04/2021, fermented naturally in 300L hogs heads & 228L barriques, during élevage there is absolutely no racking & no disruption of lees, its left on full lees with zero interference, the wine always goes through a full natural malo on its own (September - November) a small amount of sulphur post malo, racked 3/4/2022 to stainless tank no fining or filtering, bottled 11/10/2022 A small amount of sulphur post malo & pre bottling. A fine example of true Eastern Peake Chardonnay.
