St Huberts Vineyard is gently sloping, thus maximizing drainage and preventing the vines from getting wet feet. Careful management using three trellis systems ensures that each block of vines fully ripens, but also adds complexity to the finished wine. Chardonnay is sourced from the St Hubert property and mature mature Yarra Valley vineyards. A high solids juice, extracted from the pressing of whole bunches and destemmed grapes, is fermented in a mix of new and seasoned French oak. Minimal handling ensures that the fresh varietal fruit and integrated oak characters remain in balance. Batches are treated to maturation on yeast lees, a small component completes malolactic to add texture and palate weight.
