The vineyard for our Cuvée is situated 900 metres above sea level, on deep clay loam derived from basalt and is renowned for producing excellent chardonnay. The pinot noir grapes we sourced from the higher elevation Rowlee estate. Picked early with intense acid and lower sugar levels to ensure a crunch style. The juice was fermented in stainless steel tanks at cool temperature to retain freshness and varietal character, spending 10 months on full yeast lees to build texture. Bottled on 7 March 2023.
