Situated just north of Hillwood on the eastern bank of the Tamar River, this is a unique site, planted in 2000. 

Protected from the northerly winds of bass strait, the vineyard sits in a small valley, facing north/north east, it is a warm site, also influenced by the river which lies a few hundred metres to the south.

A beautiful site for chardonnay, we typically pick in two passes, the first for nervous energy and tension, the second chasing texture and width. These are all whole bunch pressed, naturally settled, run to a mix of French & Austrian puncheons for wild ferment. Some portions are allowed to proceed through MLF, and the wine sees around 11 months on full lees in barrel, before transfer to tank to rest for another 4 months.
