The grapes where sourced from two Adelaide Hills vineyards, Forreston around 60% and in the northern zone and Kuipto around 40% and located in the southern zone of the hills. Our Chardonnay is a fresh modern Australian style, citrus driven and complemented by the light use of oak with 30% of the wine fermented in new French oak Barriques. This wine was matured for around 100 days in oak with daily barrel stirring. The oak component is unobtrusive yet critical to the overall aroma and flavour texture.
Bouquet: Complex aromas of white peach, nectarine with lemon and lime zest with hints of cashew.
Palate: he aromatics flow nicely onto the palate and is is full of complex zesty citrus with an integrated creamy mid palate texture and long fine acid minerality give this wine incredible length.
Biodynamic in Conversion
Biodynamic practice, not certified. Kevin O’Brien started conversion to BD in spring 2007 by applying 500 and 501 to 7ha of older vineyard near the winery and on two new, close-planted blocks of shiraz and albarinho. ‘We want to make sure that what we leave behind to the next generation is sustainable,’ he says. ‘I don’t know of another approach to viticulture at the moment that can deliver this.
