Chardonnay, but not as you know it. This skin-contact release leads with nashi pear, almond meal and a bitter squeeze of grapefruit rind. There’s grip and phenolic texture, and a slither of quince paste adds an extra sweet–savoury curve.

The fruit was picked at the end of March. 90% was destemmed, then wild fermentation was left to run its course naturally - with a light touch throughout.
The wine was pressed off skins and aged in three 500L puncheons-one of them new-for quiet maturation through the year.
Bottled late 2023 without fining or filtration.

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.
