Description
VARIETAL: Chardonnay
REGION: Gippsland, VIC
WINEMAKER: Lisa & Justin Jenkins
VITICULTURE: Organic/Sustainable
50% Whole bunch pressed to tank for settling, then racked to a neutral puncheon for fermentation; 50% de-stemmed & fermented on skins for 7 days, then pressed into a new Stockinger Puncheon to finish fermentation, full malo for this portion. Lees stirred, then racked prior to bottling.
It’s a deliciously textural wine that offers an array of orchid fruits; preserved lemons, pears & quince with top notes of white flowers, and flinty/wet stone characters. The black sandy soils situated in these cooler parts of South Gippsland give depth, structure and power to this chardonnay.
Bright lemon/straw colour, sea spray/oyster shell, pear & quince with a flinty/mineral core driving the palate. A textural wine, that builds in the glass, grilled hazelnut, with fine-boned acidity weaving throughout.

Come curious. Leave with a new favourite.
We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
