Our Chardonnay grapes were harvested on the 30th March 2005 and were grown on a TKT2 Trellis, a two-tier trellis ideal for the cooler conditions in the Coonawarra region.
This system allows sunlight exposure to the grape skins, which assists in ripening and helps flavour development in the berries.
The fruit was harvested under cool conditions and then fermented in stainless steel tanks before the wine was settled and clarified
