"The 2024 Talland Hill Chardonnay shows up with a nose full of personality and expression. Cheesecloth, honeycomb, floral lift, chestnut, and fennel interplay, creating an expressive yet composed aromatic profile with a compelling push–pull tension. The palate is generous, layering ripe citrus with under-ripe yellow stone fruit, white nectarine, and poached apple. Rich with complexity, it is held in balance by a fine, fresh saline acid line that carries through the finish.

Certified Organic and Biodynamic – the fruit is handpicked in two picks across front block and villa block, the fruit is then whole bunch pressed on the same day using a gentle champagne press cycle. No enzymes or sulphur are used at the press tray and the juice is oxidatively handled to get rid of oxidative enzymes early on in the winemaking process. The wine is left at ambient and transferred to barrel with full solids and minimal sulfur is added.

Fermentation occurs using wild yeast and is then left unsulfured to the following summer at which time most of the wine has completed full malo-lactic fermentation. A minimal amount of sulfur is added in the spring and left in barrel for a total of 12 months where it is racked off gross lees and into tank. The resulting wine is bottled using no finings and minimal filtration."
