Chardonnay grows very well to the salubrious mesoclimes of the Adelaide Hills where it takes on a style that's quite unique to the region. Grapes are hand picked following a stringent selection process in the vineyards, with a view to preserving the expression of terroir, from fifteen year old vines planted to gravely red, loam over clay soils at Lenswood in the Adelaide Hills. A combination of the cool Mediterranean climate, superior aspect and free draining soils produce wines of classic varietal definition. Each parcel of wine is treated individually throughout maturation to maximise options in assembling a final wine of definition and personality. Matured exclusively in 100% French oak barriques.
