• Vintage Notes

  2023 shaped up to be an excellent vintage, particularly for Chardonnay. This wine from the onset, was to be kept separate to represent the very best of the McDonalds Road Chardonnay, showing its character from the vineyard with ripe stonefuits and structure. It was carefully fermented and matured in oak and stirred monthly to incorporate the lees, creating texture and mouthfeel. Enjoy this wine with cheese or a light pasta dish.

• Tasting Notes

  Pressed into a mix of temperature controlled stainless steel tanks & oak barrels, stainless steel tank was lightly fined prior to inoculation with a natural yeast strain. Fermentation temperature was kept close to 17 degrees preserving delicate aromatics. Fined and filtered before bottling
