Vino 2025 Chardonnay 'Southern Seas'","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFollowing several warm, dry vintages in Margaret River, we sought out a vineyard at the southern end of the Cape, where conditions are naturally cooler and shaped not only by the Indian Ocean, but also by the Southern Ocean. This dual maritime influence extends the growing season, producing fruit with naturally higher acidity, greater tension and layered texture. In 2025, the contrast across the region was striking: fields in the south remained green and vibrant, while those to the north were dry and golden. Increased moisture, greater cloud cover and cooling Southern Ocean breezes, combined with classic rich gravelly loam soils, have delivered a Chardonnay that feels distinctly different.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fruit was handpicked, chilled overnight and gently pressed as whole bunches, with only the free-run juice retained for fermentation. The juice was softly settled and racked off heavy solids before fermenting in a combination of barrique (30% new) and amphora, where it matured for 11 months. The wine was not fined and underwent only a light filtration prior to bottling, allowing the character of the site and season to remain clearly expressed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTasting Notes: Granny smith apple, ice cream, lemon, lime, wet stone and sea salt.
