Laterite Chardonnay 2020

Farmed with the same philosophy and made in the same way of our single vineyard chardonnays. All fruit was hand-picked and whole bunch pressed, before undergoing wild yeast fermentation in French oak barriques (25% new). Barrels were left unsulphured over the winter months with a portion undergoing wild malolactic fermentation. Laterite Hills Chardonnay matured for 10 months in barrels before being bottled in February 2021.

He began his career with renowned local producer Inama and then broadened his knowledge by making wine throughout Europe, New Zealand and Australia. Impressed by the quality of the wines and by the breath-taking beauty of the landscape he permanently settled in Margaret River in 2011. "I have always been fascinated by wines that are not only delicious but also enriching and inspiring. I believe that great wines are capable of taking you on a journey… they should capture the true essence of the land and the people who farm it."
