CHARDONNAY 2022

SOUND OF WHITE

SOUND OF WHITE

CHARDONNAY 2022

The wine is youthful and vibrant with beautifully layered aromatics of stone fruit, baking spices, and a chalky nuance. The palate is poised with great length, where vanilla, hazelnut and cream are complimented with very fine texture and minerality. Seamless, elegant and mouth-watering.

The intention with all of our Sound of White wines is to showcase the site, with as little winemaking as required. Fruit was hand-picked and gently pressed at the winery to tank for 24 hours. Then cloudy juice was run to 500 L puncheons for a ‘wild’ ferment. The wine was left on it’s yeast lees for 11 months before blending and bottling. This strong clay presence provides an inherent richness and density to the fruit, ideal for the style of  Chardonnay that we are aiming to produce.

Vintage

The 21/22 season is one for the books. Winter rains replenished parched soils and broke a three-year drought. A warm and wet winter continued into spring, bringing lush growth to the vines, and a perfect flowering. January was warm and dry, and dropping excess fruit was necessary to ensure quality fruit. On the 14th of March, 2022, 2.4 tonne of beautiful Chardonnay was hand-harvested and gently handled in the winery.
