Production Details Chardonnay vines on limestone and mineral-rich calcrete soil, on a south-facing slope exposed to off-cooling southeastern breeze. The vineyard is carefully managed for aeration and indirect light in the leaf canopy to preserve vibrance in the Chardonnay bunches until the crisp morning breaks on the day of harvest. A minimalist approach: hand-picked in the early morning and whole-bunch pressed. Clear free-run juice of brilliant lime-gold colour. Unoaked cold fermentation and three months lees contact.
