Description

VINEYARD

The second time making wine from this incredible, certified organic vineyard in the heart of Metricup, Margaret River. Twenty two year old  'gin-gin' chardonnay grown in a sandy loam topsoil over a mottled clay subsoil. (In contrast to Willyabrups dominant forest loam soils with mottled granite).

 

WINERY

The fruit hand picked, chilled, hand selected and then whole bunch pressed prior to fermentation in ten barriques, two of which were new. The wine undergoes a full malolactic fermentation with fortnightly lees stirring prior to maturation for 10 months in barrique prior to blending. The wine is bottled un-fined with a light filtration

 

WINE

A complete contrast to the 'Wildberry Springs' chardonnay due to ; sub-region, soil, climate, and fermentation vessel. The allure of creating a new very different chardonnay was too hard to pass up.  A wine made with certified organic fruit and treated in the winery 'organically'.

In Margaret River the days are warm due to where the vineyard sits in lattitude  and the nights are cool due to the pure afternoon breezes flowing off the Indian ocean. This impacts the wine. It has warmth, weight, richness and flavour but also an incredible freshness with flavours of citrus, lemon, lime, curd, peach and stonefruit.
