2024 'Tough Love' Chardonnay

PRICE

BOTTLE
$35.00
The 2024 Tough Love Chardonnay shows both power and restraint, with lifted guava and white nectarine stonefruit notes leading to a fleshy melon palate with subtle notes of spice, nuts and brioche. The leesy complexity adds layers and interest and is balanced by fresh clean grapefruit acidity.

  • Vintage Notes

    The 2024 season was extremely early due to a very dry and warm winter leading to early budburst by up to 4 weeks. This was followed by a total lack of rain from mid-September to April which kept crop levels low leading to great intensity of flavour.

  • Winemaking

    We utilize the ubiquitous Gin Gin clone (famous in WA) and the 4 Dijon clones (seductively named 76,95,96 and 277) imported in the 80’s. Hand and machine picked, whole bunch pressed where handpicked; whole solids juices and wild ferments; 30% saw barrel ferment and 10% in new, the rest used puncheons; aged on lees for 8 months in tank and barrel.
