While sustainably grown and produced without chemical inputs, this is the only wine not certified organic in the DTRH range. 100% McLaren Vale from a single vineyard with older Chardonnay vines, the team chose this site as being best available to produce the beguiling balance of vibrance and texture they all look for personally in Chardonnay. This release undergoes cool, controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks, then matures on fine lees for 12 months in French oak barrels (20% new) to build depth and texture. No malolactic fermentation occurs.
2024
The 2024 vintage faced cool nights, strong flowering winds, and a hot March heatwave, yielding a lighter crop with highly concentrated fruit. The wine displays juicy white peach, honeysuckle, and a delicate, creamy hazelnut character with a plush and silky palate balanced by crisp acidity and restraint.
