95 POINTS - HALLIDAY WINE COMPANION

"A powerhouse of a wine with supercharged flavours of grapefruit, lemon and white stone fruit yet very much in the savoury spectrum and held together by gossamer-like acidity. There’s succulence and restraint on the palate with some funky, flinty flavour, fine creamy lees and woodsy spices adding more detail." - Jane Faulkner

WINEMAKING

The grapes were harvested in the cool morning, transported overnight to Capella Vineyard, and gently pressed whole bunch. Fermented with wild yeast in a blend of new and seasoned Burgundian puncheon barrels, partial malolactic fermentation enhanced the wine's delicate acidity and balance. After fermentation, the Chardonnay matured in the same barrels for 11 months before blending.
