Method & Production

A single vineyard wine from Highwealds Lake Street Vineyard. Hand harvest of the grapes. Gentle pressing. Barrel fermented in 225L Burgundy barrels using selected yeasts. Maturation in barrel for 12 months. The resulting wine is left unfined and unfiltered. Minimum three months bottle refinement before release.

Tasting notes

From their Lake Street vineyard, this unfined and unfiltered Chardonnay is a true gem. Enjoy flavours of ripe orchard fruits, including apple, peach and apricot. With subtle notes of acacia blossom, lime leaf and cedar. Following through to a beautifully balanced and smooth palate, with a long and persistent finish. 

Food matching

Excellent with tarragon chicken, lightly spiced Thai pork salad and soft cheeses.
