Amourette Chardonnay 2025

There is one glorious white grape here - 100% Chardonnay. An example of single-varietal (Chardonnay Clone 76) from our Estate Amourette vineyard.

The Amourette vineyard has been managed for over thirty years specifically to grow a smaller crop but of high quality fruit with a focus solely on the production of a Chardonnay unlike any other.

Pale straw color and a delicate very slight citrus aroma. In the mouth crisp apple and pear followed by a soft, ever so slight, butterscotch finish.

An impeccable, balanced wine with just enough acidity and body to evoke power, while not erring on the side of being too heavy.

This wine was barrel fermented in the traditional Burgundian method using just the right amount of new French Oak - not too much - just perfect and then malolactic fermentation, by design, interrupted about half way through.

French oak for 12 months - 33% new, 33% one use, balance neutral.

Only 228 cases produced. Our vineyards are farmed to the code of sustainable agriculture using traditional techniques, based on strict control of yields, manual harvests and numerous quality specific tasks that are carried out by hand throughout the year.

Little or no chemical fertilizers are used. Selection and planting of cover crops and their return to the soil provides additional organic nutrients allowing our vines to reach an advanced age and produce outstanding grapes.
