Tasting notes:
This blend of Barossa and Eden Valley Chardonnay should please everyone. The Barossa Valley content provides luscious peach and tropical fruit characters on both nose and palate, balanced with the fine citrus aromas and flavours from the cooler Eden Valley vineyard. The mouthfeel is rich, yet delicate and complex and the finish crisp and dry with restrained oak nuances. Although very enjoyable whilst young, it will cellar well for three or four years. Try it with stir-fried prawns or grilled ocean trout.

Vineyard Notes:
The vineyard is hand pruned to 70 buds per vine to limit yield with traditional vineyard management techniques employed. The fruit is sourced from the Schrapel vineyards in the Barossa Valley on the slopes of the Barossa Ranges, and a neighbouring vineyard in Eden Valley. Eden Valley is a cool climate region nestled between 400 and 600 meters above sea level and is part of the Barossa and Mount Lofty Ranges. It is rough, rocky country that belies its ability to produce wines of great delicacy and finesse. The soils are derived from schistic and sedimentary rock with red clay soils and sandy, silty loams interspersed with schistic gravels. The cooler climate of the Eden Valley allows fruit to experience longer ripening periods which is perfect for flavour accumulation and intensity. The Barossa Valley fruit offers subtle weight and a complexity of flavours to the palate structure.

Vintage report:
Cooling breezes fanned the vineyards during the spring and warmer summer months allowing for a gradual, extended ripening period of the fruit. This proved to be a significant advantage during the hot early months of 2008 with soil moisture at depleted levels. The vines were in excellent health leading up to harvest with balanced canopy growth and fruit development. The grapes were picked prior to the March heatwave, maximising fruit quality.

Winemaking Report:
Crushed immediately after picking with minimal skin contact of 1 - 3 hours in the press. The majority of the blend is cold fermented in stainless steel for 8-10 days at 12-15C, with selected yeast and some lees maturation. A small parcel of the wine, approximately 25%, is aged in new and 1 year old French oak to soften the palate and malolactic fermentation induced to add further complexity to the style.
