2023 Wallis Chardonnay
Aromas of lemon verbena and lime custard lift from the glass, together with enticing ripe nectarine and bright citrus notes that follow through on the palate. The flavours evolve in elegant waves, revealing layers of complexity while maintaining a refreshing and vibrant character through to the finish.

Other Notes
Higher than average rainfall during flowering and over the course of the season resulted in lower yields on all sites. Flavour and sugar development were prolonged, resulting in more hang time, good intensity and drive.

Winemaker Notes
Handpicked, sorted and whole bunch pressed to small and large format oak. The juice then underwent a wild yeast fermentation and natural malolactic fermentation.
After 11 months of oak maturation, the wine was filtered and bottled.
