2022 Loud Places

Notes from the very talented Louis Schofield...
Our first serious attempt at chardonnay. We waited until we could get our hands on exceptional quality fruit and a volume which meant we could include a small portion of quality new french oak. Ageing the wine in barrel and bottle for 15 months prior to release is also really important. The vineyards are both in the heart of the Piccadilly Valley, adjacent to each other and grown by the Virgara family. Clones are I10V1, 76 and 96. This is an elegant but full flavoured and complex chardonnay that we are very proud of.
