Clone 1 Chardonnay farmed in Wilyabrup, at the highest point in the vineyard, protected by Marri gums and sat atop red loam soil. The clone was originally planted for sparkling production and lends itself to our ethos of earlier picking maintaining balance of fruit ripeness with natural acidity. The wine displays almond husk characters while still holding a fine acid backbone. It shows generous fruit-driven aromatics with ripe nectarine and jasmine blossom with some subtle oak influence bringing a beeswax softness to the pallet.
