This Chardonnay was sourced from our Somerset Vineyard, Oakey Creek Bonvilla Vineyard. The fruit was handpicked and pressed with the juice transferred directly to large format, tight grain, French and Austrian oak where the wine underwent fermentation. During the élevage, bâtonnage was conducted to build complexity.

Both Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc components are whole bunch pressed immediately after picking. This wine was 100% barrel fermented with large neutral oak barrels used. Natural Malolactic fermentation was allowed and extended lees contact fill outs the middle palate and gives this wine the completity it is known for.

Lignée is only available in magnums (1,500l) and only 667 bottles of each blend have been made.

This Semillon was sourced from our Somerset Vineyard and handpicked in early February 2021.
The block was planted by the Howard family in 1969, over fine clay loam soil. The juice was fermented on fine solids and extended lees contact was allowed before being bottled. The wine shows the character of the old gnarled vines: refreshing natural acidity; citrus fruit and delicate minerality. Drink anytime over the next 10+ years.
