Sailor Seeks Horse Chardonnay 2022

2022 was a standout vintage for Chardonnay in the Huon Valley. Just the right combination of weather and yields to create wines of precision and balance. This year's bottling exhibits a slatey, briney, almost mineral-like palate weight. Citrus and stone fruit, a touch of richness, spice and white pepper

Whole bunch pressed, 'hyperox' into press tray, 12 hour settle in tank, racked to 300L hogsheads, 20% new, wild ferment, no MLF, full lees 12 months' elevage in barrel, then 3 months in tank before bottling. Not fined. Mostly 277 and 95 clones with a little 96.
