Chardonnay
Complex | Cream | Yellow Nectarine | Long Finish
Grenache
Majority of this hand-picked fruit is whole bunch pressed, some had 24 hour skin contact, while a small proportion was fermentedon skins. This adds a nice bit of structure and complexity. The idea is to create the texture and phenolics in the wine from skin tannin and solids rather than placing it into oak. Really well structured and elegant.
-
Toasty lees character, yellow nectarine, cream and some floral notes. The flavours follow on the palate which is textural and long wth a saline pithy finish.

Gamay
The Tregarthen vineyard is in the Kuitpo sub-region of the southern Adelaide Hills. The small section of Chenin Blanc is the only block of the variety grown in the Hills and is on a gentle north facing slope.

Clean, delicate, and pure on the palate with restrained fruit and floral characters. Flavour length is provided by crisp acidity and a light textural element thanks to the wine’s time spent resting on lees.
