Paralian Bowyer Ridge Chardonnay 2023

Single Vineyard Chardonnay, fruit sourced from ‘Bowyer Ridge Vineyard’, Adelaide Hills grown by the Rosback family.

Irrigated vines, on mica schist, North/South aspect 480-495m altitude. Sustainable Winegrowing Australia Certified Vineyard

Hand-picked fruit, whole bunch pressed, the free run only was drained and fermented in French oak barrels - 18% new, majority in larger 500L puncheons. 100% wild ferment, left on lees in barrel for partial malolactic fermentation while stirring regularly to build texture.

A very tight expression of Bowyer Ridge, green almond, white peach, touch of green melon and seaspray. The palate's volume of primary fruit builds over time and is lengthened by intense grapefruit acidity.
