Eastern Peake 2023 Intrinsic Chardonnay

We look forward to these releases every year. Notes from Owen Latta. 
Volcanic grey loam soils over weathered basalt sitting on a high plateau at 430m alt, this block of chardonnay was established in 1991 with Clone I10V5. Farmed organically. Every year its such a pleasure to release the Intrinsic Chardonnay, like its predecessor, 2023 was also a very demanding growing season, we managed to keep on top of the challenging weather at each growth stage all the way up until nearly christmas when the weather finally settled into gear giving our site a beautiful finish, so many hours were spent keep the vines in pristine condition & I feel like this attention to detail strongly reflects in the wine. This is definitely one for enjoying right now but also one for the ages, a long youthful life ahead.
