2025 Single Vineyard Chardonnay

The Single Vineyard range is designed to highlight the unique characteristics of some of the most exceptional vineyard sites from across Western Australia. The fruit for this wine is sourced from the Talisman Vineyard in Ferguson Valley, Geographe and showcases the powerful fruit and bright acidity that are hallmarks of this stunning wine region in the southwest.

This Chardonnay is crafted in a modern, refined style to bring the purity of fruit from this special vineyard site to the fore. Time in oak and maturation on lees brings a rich texture and warm caramel notes, alongside the delicious stonefruit and apple characters.

vintage

Abundant rainfall in winter 2024 allowed for vine recovery from a warmer, early harvest of that year, and lead to a healthy spring growth phase prior to the 2025 summer. Fruit was harvested at optimal ripeness and flavour expression whilst maintaining freshness and vibrancy in the hand-picked parcels.

winemaking

Fruit was sourced from the Talisman Vineyard in Geographe.

The hand-picked grapes were whole bunch pressed, without settling, and directly filled to French barriques, 30% of which were new and 70% of which were one- and two-year-old. The wine underwent wild fermentation and post fermentation were regularly tasted and topped. After 8 months on lees, the barrels were individually tasted to determine the final blend, which was then lightly fined before bottling.
