2024 10X Chardonnay
2024 10X Chardonnay
A refined nose of lemon sorbet, pink grapefruit and frangipanni flowers. Some underlying shortbread crust. The palate shows flavours of pink grapefruit and orange pith, preserved lemon and ginger. The vibrant and refreshing nature of this wine leaves you with a lovely moreish, savory, saline finish.

Other Notes
After a wet spring, the 2024 season gave ample sunlight and ideal ripening conditions across all varieties. Phenological ripeness was uniform and flavours although delayed, were abundant in great concentrations.

Winemaker Notes
Handpicked fruit was hand sorted, chilled down and then whole bunch pressed to stainless steel. Racked taking light fluffy less to a range of barriques and puncheons to undergo wild fermentation. Some bâttonage and malolactic fermentation took place depending on batch balance and style before being blended, filtered and bottled.
