Similarly to the 2024 vintage, my purpose was to fill an important stylistic void in the Australian Chardonnay landscape; a savoury, textural, salty white harnessed with controlled and complexing oxydation. A style that immediately makes you think of Jura with an unmistakably Australian personality.
Winemaking: I10V1 and Entav 548 clones were hand-harvested in three passes. Mostly pressed directly, except for one batch that was macerated for 3 hours. The freshly pressed must settled for 2 days and was racked into tanks and an old French hogshead for barrel fermentation. Aged on fine lees for 15 months without racking. After carefully assembling the blend, the wine rested in tank for 1 month and was bottled with 30 ppm SO2.
