Foot stomped before gently pressing into stainless steel. Cold settled for 60 hours then racked and transferred to new and old French oak for primary and secondary fermentation. Matured for 14 months in oak and a further 3 months in stainless steel prior to bottling. The wine expresses a lemony freshness with great minerality.

About the wine
Tasting notes
Hay, popcorn, cracked wheat, frisky stonefruit and cashew characters. It’s flavoursome but it cuts through the palate with energy. The cracked wheat, almost cider-like aspects here are distinctive. Apple-like characters add a cleansing aspect to the finish.

Expert review
James Halliday Wine Companion - 94 Points Sourced from the Macedon Edge vineyard, wild yeast fermentation in new and seasoned French oak, mlf, 12 months' maturation in oak. Pip Foster is a true chardonnay whisperer, coaxing an effortless kind of individual beauty from the grape even when grown in high altitudes (500m) in super cool regions. Linear in delivery, it offers a purity of expression in a lemon and grapefruit citrusy intensity, honeydew melon, white peach, white florals and a touch of spice. Opens up on the mid-palate – all juicy and bright with a gentle soft creaminess rolling across the tongue before finishing with some edgy Macedon lemon tingle acidity. - Jeni Port
Chardonnay
One of the most planted, versatile and popular white varieties in the world. As a stand alone grape, Chardonnay is not the most interesting, nor complex varietal out there...but in the hands of a great winemaker it can be turned into one of the world's greatest pleasures! From the best bubbles of Champagne, to the lean, unoaked and mineral expressions of Chablis and the opulent, oaked and complex whites of Burgundy, Chardonnay is responsible for making some of the greatest expressions of white wine on the planet.
