I made this wine in partnership with my friend Darrin Gaffy of Principia Wines win the Mornington Peninsula. The 24 vintage in Mornington has delivered stunning chardonnay. The cooler vintage conditions enabled the fruit to ripen slowly whilst retaining freshness and acidity. We have access two parcels of my favourite Chardonnay clone, P58 (the same clone as Giaconda) from vineyards in Balnarring and Merricks North.

About the wine

Tasting notes

A complex aroma of citrus blossom, grapefruit pith, white nectarine, smoked peat and charcuterie. The palate is round and creamy, infused with spicy oak and reflects the bouquet. A more full-bodied chardonnay with 30% new oak, partial malo-lactic ferment and a TA of 8 gm/lt ensuring a clean lingering finish. 13.4% Alc

The Grape

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.
