Pedestal Chardonnay 2022

Aromas of lemon, peaches and tropical fruits give way to pure clean flavours on the palate. Fine, persistent flavours with balanced acid and long finish. An exceptionally elegant wine, showing the benefit of careful oak treatment.

Vintage

The conditions in spring were mild and wet which set the 2022 vintage up perfectly. Late spring and summer conditions were dry and warm in the lead-up to Christmas which meant there was little or no disease pressure in the vineyards with perfect bunches of Pinot and Chardonnay harvested in March and April. Wines have generous fruit flavours and excellent fresh acidities; Chardonnay and Pinot are the standout varieties for the season.

Winemaking

Hand picked fruit, whole bunch pressed, fermented with natural yeasts and aged in new and old year old French oak prior to bottling.
