Reserve Bin A Chardonnay has evolved into a wine that is now a distinctive, single-region style in its own right, with a contemporary and expressive Adelaide Hills chardonnay persona. Fruit is hand-picked into small bins and then whole-bunch pressed. A portion of the juice is incrementally filled to barrel directly from the press and allowed to undergo a natural fermentation, sans inoculation. Every new and seasoned French oak barrique is its own unique 225-litre ferment. Enhanced mouthfeel and complexity is achieved by fermenting and maturing on solids with regular yeast lees stirring. 100% malolactic fermentation (all natural).

98 | Very overt struck-match reductive bouquet, flint, gun-smoke. Lively acidity, excellent tension, lots of peach concentration underpinned by citrus acidity. Superb length.

96 | Light flinty, smokey notes with delicate cool climate fruit, very attractive wine

94 | Matchstick, grapefruit lemon curd aromas, fine chalky textures, and fresh acidity. Quite minerally and elegant.

90 | Gorgeous lemon aromas with clean, detailed sulfides. The palate is restrained. A more reserved style.
