Style
Fresh and fine, with lovely nectarine, and lemon pith flavours. The palate is powerful and textured with fine acidity and trademark M3 fruit intensity at its core.
Season
Cool and wet conditions during flowering interrupted berry set, resulting in smaller, lighter bunches. The remainder of the season was mostly mild and dry, with a few well-timed rain events supporting vine growth and health. The result was low yields, high acidity and great flavour, with fruit hand-picked between 20 February and 15 March.
Vineyard
It’s high, it’s cool, it’s wet, and it’s a great place to grow Chardonnay. The Adelaide Hills has a reputation for high quality, but also has lots of diversity. The majority of fruit for this wine was sourced from our Lenswood, Piccadilly and Lobethal vineyards, grown on loams over clay and quartz, and complemented with fruit from a handful of trusted growers.
Vinification
Hand-picked grapes are whole bunch pressed, then gently squeezed to the finest French oak barrels for fermentation. Here they spend 9 months, undergoing primary and secondary (malolactic) fermentation. Batches are then blended in stainless steel vats before bottling.
"Precise, minerally and laser focused with a lovely hint of reduction."
95 points, James Suckling
