Overview

The Hunter Valley has yet again produced an outstanding vintage in what could only be described as non-ideal conditions. The fruit for this wine comes solely from one block; "Poppy's Block". The Chardonnay was fermented with full solids in 100% new French oak barrels with a diverse selection of yeasts. Lees stirred weekly for 6 months, the wine was then lightly fined and filtered before bottling. The result is a vibrant, flavoursome wine with unmatched complexity and mouthfeel. A perfect wine to be enjoyed with friends and food or a gift for a special someone.
