Fermented with indigenous yeasts this hand harvested Hunter Chardonnay is made without the use of additions or added preservatives. This is everything I wish for from a Hunter Chardonnay. I could easily enjoy a glass of this whenever I wanted, such do I love its style. It speaks loudly about what I enjoy most in Richie's wine - purity, generosity, texture, balance, complexity, harmony....
Farmed sustainably without the use of fungicides and pesticides, the fruit is handpicked to ensure the highest quality. All work within the winery is undertaken with no chemical additions, flavour adjustments, filtration or fining. The wines are bottled with no added sulphites, in some cases with just a small sulphur addition. Through this minimalist approach to winemaking, Richie helps create wines that are pure, honest and true representations of nature.
