The bunches were whole bunch pressed for 3 hours, settled naturally for 12 hours overnight, and then transferred to French oak for fermentation. Once completed the wine was aged on full ferment lees for 12 months with no malolactic, minimal battonage and no racking.

In the vineyard
The fruit for this Chardonnay comes from one of the oldest Chardonnay blocks on the farm.

Ageing
A barrel selection was then done to make up the blend. 35% new, 30% 2nd fill and 35% 3rd fill.
