The 2025 season was warm and early, which pushed ripeness and weight, but as you'll see when you taste this the vineyard's natural conditions kept things focused and fresh rather than broad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe winemaking approach is gentle and patient throughout. Whole bunch pressed with no additions, wild ferment, 20% new oak, and no sulphur added until malolactic completed naturally in late spring. Nine months in barrel, then bottled without fining or filtration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe result is a tighter, more mineral-driven style of Chardonnay compared to the Lenswood, with good line and length and a freshness that runs all the way through. So elegant, so focused, so damn good to drink.  These two really know how to make great Chardonnay!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"It's very minerally, laced with citrusy acidity, crunch of red apple juice, with flickers of sugared almond, puffs of talc, flinty mineral characters and a chime of sweet spice... Elegant, refined style, done very well.\"\u003cbr\u003e- Mike Bennie (Halliday Wine Companion)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"It has intensity and concentration but with a tight line of acidity, and a notion of coolness in the fruit profile...
