Voyager Estate Chardonnay 2022

Voyager Estate Chardonnay is an organically grown Margaret River Chardonnay from six estate blocks.

Now farmed organically, the vineyard here comprises six blocks and four Chardonnay clones, with Gingin for power and concentration and Dijon 95, 96 and 76 for restraint, texture and freshness, on red-brown gravel over stony clay in Stevens Valley. The fruit was picked by hand, cooled overnight and pressed as whole bunches into French oak barriques for a spontaneous ferment. Selected parcels went through malolactic conversion. Most of the wine aged nine months in barrique with regular stirring, while a fifth finished its last three months in concrete, which adds texture without adding oak flavour.

Citrus and white stone fruit with a chalky, saline line and restrained oak. Serve at 12 degrees. Kingfish, roast chicken or a bowl of pasta with crab and lemon; drink it now or hold it five years.
