Wine Making

Hand-picked at progressive ripening within the three blocks. Grapes were hand-sorted and whole-bunch pressed to tank and settled overnight. A portion were lightly crushed as intact whole bunches en route to press.

No pressings cuts made and grapes were given a considerable squeeze for phenolic inclusion. Minimal SO2 or dry ice protection, only at end of pressing. Cloudy juice racked to barrel with light solids for 100% barrel fermentation utilising natural and cultured yeasts.

Aged on lees in barrel with selective stirring on leaner barrels. A portion of barrels underwent 100% malolactic fermentation.

Winemaker’s Notes

Our Katherine’s Paddock Chardonnay blend (from our three clonal plantings) combines the richness, drive and classicism of our north-east facing P58 clone withthe fruit-forward fruitiness of east-facing Mendoza and the fine-boned flinty structure with chalky notes of the south-east facing block of Bernard 95 clone.

From a nigh on perfect Yarra Valley vintage, this wine plants a flag for a stylistic reclamation of Chardonnay where body, flavour and palate weight can co-exist with structure, texture and restrained acidity.
