Hunter Valley Chardonnay is sourced from a mixture of sites across the Pokolbin area. All of these sites have slightly different microclimates, and each component brings its unique personality to the blend. The 2024 vintage was one of the earliest on record in the Hunter Valley. A warm, dry growing season, coupled with lower crop levels, produced wines that are full, with intense flavours yet retaining line and length. Individual Chardonnay blocks were picked and fermented separately in a combination of stainless steel tanks and French oak barriques. No malolactic fermentation, instead, the wine was held on yeast lees to gain complexity and mouthfeel until blending prior to bottling. Textbook modern, medium-bodied Hunter Valley Chardonnay to be enjoyed with a variety of cuisines. The nose shows a great mixture of citrus, white stone fruit, some oak spice as well as just a hint of solids complexity. The palate is robust with great fruit intensity and texture through the mid-palate, with a soft acid finish.
