WINEMAKERS NOTES 

Following on from successive 5 * Platter awards we are proud to release the new vintage.

A Barrel selection of wines that show a unique identity.

Showing the concentration of its low yields, it marries layers of fresh citrus and stonefruit. Rich yet bright, focused and elegant with a mineral finish.

THE HARVEST
Handpicked in the last week of January from a selection of 8 year old vineyard blocks with the 548 Clone

IN THE CELLAR
Overnight cold storage of the grapes preserved the fresh fruity character during whole bunch pressing. After settling, the clear juice was racked off its gross lees into 2 600L French Oak barrels (50% new) Fermented and aged in barrel for 11 months.

BOTANICAL SKETCH
Each of our wines is linked to a specific flower – the characteristics of the wine are symbolized by that particular flower on the label.

Clivia miniata (Buttercup)
The bright yellow colour of the Clivia is synonymous with our lively Chardonnay and Buttercup is a perfect description of its character.

Alcohol 13.26 % vol RS 4.0 g/l pH 3.41 Total Acid 5.40 g/l
