Vintage Conditions
Healthy vines were maintained by consistent rainfall leading up to the vintage period. The warm dry conditions that followed during harvest resulted in optimum fruit ripening conditions.
Winemaking
Fruit classification was based on those vineyards showing the required flavour expression for this wine. Healthy berries profiling citrus and stonefruit were ideal for this wine style. Both varieties were fermented separately over a 2 week period between 12ºC - 14ºC. Selected parcels were fermented with the inclusion of American oak. Portions of the Chardonnay then underwent malolactic fermentation to add creaminessand complexity to the palate prior to clarification and blending.
