Size

Our Chardonnay has aromas of pears and melons which are repeated on the palate, with a pleasant acid backbone making this a light crisp refreshing wine, with or without food. Produced without the use of oak or malolactic fermentation, this wine develops a creamy texture as it ages but maintains its crisp flavour.

This harvest was the first to be undertaken with social distancing due to the COVID pandemic, with picking a couple of weeks after lockdowns began. This Chardonnay won a bronze medal at the Tasmanian Wine Show in 2021. It is drinking well as a young wine, but should mature into an interesting aged Chardonnay with cellaring.

Our Chardonnay pairs well with lighter meats (roast chicken, pork tenderloin), soft and creamy cheese (double Brie, Camembert) and cauliflower soup.

Alcohol content: 11.7% (6.9 standard drinks)
Size: 750 mL

More about this wine

2020 season

Spring was a mixture of warm and very cool, with frost warnings in mid September. Cold nights were common. There was a very hot day at the end of November and strong winds all the way through until mid November. Rainfall was ⅔ average.

Summer saw hotter temperatures in December and January but cooler in February. We had two days over 40°C (December and January) and one day of 15°C in February. Rainfall was ½ the average (65mm).

Autumn was cooler during the day but cloudy weather meant warmer nights.

It was very wet mid March with over 100mm falling on 16 March.

This harvest was the first to be undertaken with social distancing due to the COVID pandemic.

We picked Chardonnay on 3 April. Pinot Noir was picked on 18 April.

Preservative and allergen information

We use a small amount of sulphur-based preservative (224) in all of our wines and Verjuice to stabilise the wine and ensure a long life.

All of our still wines are packaged on a bottling line that may have traces of nut products. We do not use any nuts as part of our production process.

Our white wines may contain traces of dairy products (skim milk) remaining in the wine after the fining and filtration process.

Our red wines are vegan-friendly wines, as we do not use any animal products in their production.

Packaging and recycling information

Our sparkling wine is labelled with recyclable waterproof labels (designed to remain intact in ice buckets!) and biodegradable inks. The cap, cage (muselet), foil and glass bottle are fully recyclable.

Our natural cork stopper can be composted at home or via compost collection, or recycled through ReCork (available at select Dan Murphy’s stores across Australia).

All of our still wines are labelled with compostable paper-based labels for each varietal and a handwritten year; this allows us to eliminate duplication of labels for different vintages. The screw cap and glass bottle are fully recyclable.

We ship all of our wine using recycled cardboard packaging. Sparkling wine is packaged during bottling; still wine is packaged during order processing. You may receive different packages depending on availability. We reuse boxes from tasting events and within our storage facility.
