True to the style of a petit chablis, uncluttered. Elegant complexity where nothing dominates.

"A bright and crunchy chardonnay with sliced apple, lime, lemon and stone. Hint of nougat, too. Full to medium body. Phenolic tension frames the wine nicely and adds a crunchy feel. Dry. Drink or hold."
"A delicious wine on the nose and palate with a bouquet of fresh citrus from grapefruit then lemon, white peach and apple, there’s layers of mineral and fine lees with any oak used feels minimal. Fine tannins and acidity set a sound foundation enhancing the mineral message and promoting the core fruit and sense of place expression. Well made, a wine that tastes and feels young still. A fine silky texture and plenty of acidity. Best drinking from late 2024 through 2030. Outstanding"

Vintage notes
Growing Season
Above average rainfall through to mid December had us a little concerned about disease pressure but then like in the previous season the rain virtually disappeared through to harvest. Moderate maximum temperatures were coupled with some very cool nights with the wind machines busy in the spring and then coming on one morning in January and further times at harvest. Yields were close to our average and with beautiful autumnal conditions perfect for ripening/flavour development we are super excited about the wines.
Harvest
Harvest was spread over a four week period with the first pick on the 17th March and the last on the 13th April. By variety was as below.
Chardonnay: 25th March to the 6th April
Chenin Blanc: 29th March to the 13th April
Pinot Noir: 17th March to the 9th April
