Our third cool climate Chardonnay release from the Wightwick vineyard, situated 500 meters above sea level just to the North of Ballarat. This is an elegant and refined style, with white nectarine and lemon curd notes. Soft and creamy on the palate, with a long, slightly chalky phenolic grip, and tangy acid tail.

From the Wightwick vineyard at Invermay in Ballarat. Ripe and lush bouquet of bright red cherry and blood plum fruits. A hint of stemmy spice and crunch, medium plus bodied with lingering earthy mushroom and sweet spices. Gently handled with 25% whole bunches and wild yeast fermentation. Matured in French oak barriques. The concentrated red fruit notes and flavours reflect the low yielding and mild 2020 vintage.

Cabernet Sauvignon (60%) and Shiraz (40%) combine seamlessly to create a powerful and complex, long-living Pyrenees classic.
