- 96 Punkte JAMES SUCKLING: "A stunning chardonnay for the intensity and complexity it delivers, this has attractive flinty aromas aligned with white peaches and nectarines. The palate has mouthwatering intensity with fresh acidity and very attractive fruit purity. Grilled hazelnuts to close. Drink now. Screw cap."

| Notizen des Weinguts: | Winemaker´s Comment: "Aromas of white flowers, grapefruit, and white peach. A note of brioche adds complexity. These notes carry through to the palate, which is long and flavoursome, with mid-palate texture and bright acid." Predominantly from our Lenswood Vineyard, at 455 – 500m elevation. Undulating with east and west facing aspects, the soils are brown loams over clay with broken shale on the ridges. Meticulous viticulture, with cane pruning, vertical shoot positioning, and yields limited through shoot and bunch thinning to increase fruit intensity. The vineyard was planted in 1999. 100% Hand picked and whole bunch pressed. Fermented and matured on lees in French oak barriques and puncheons (30% new) for 9 months. Die Lese erfolgt von Hand, maximal 2kg pro Rebstock. Die Trauben werden nach der Lese über 36 Stunden gekühlt und anschliessend als ganze Trauben direkt ins Fass gepresst. Die Fermentation erfolgt zu 90% "wild" in zu 30% neuen und 70% gebrauchten Fässern unterschiedlicher Größe, der Jungwein bleibt einige Zeit auf den Hefen und wird von Hand gerührt (Bâtonnage). 50% des Weines durchliefen die malolaktische Fermentation. Der Wein reifte 9 Monate in französischen Barriques (Mix aus alt und neu): "Special care is taken not to over oak the wine, maintaining fruit integrity." Vintage: 2015 was a remarkable vintage. Above average winter rainfall ensured a good start to the growing season and warm weather around the New Year was followed by useful rain on the 13th of January. The season concluded with mild, stable conditions and delivered fruit of wonderful quality to the winery. Winemaker´s favourite Recipe: Seared King George Whiting |
