From a single, West-facing block on the Knights Valley Estate, West Block Chardonnay is crafted as a rich, opulent wine intended to linger on both the palate and in the memory. The fruit is whole-cluster pressed and then fermented in entirely new French oak at warmer temperatures to encourage richness and complexity in the mid-palate. Malolactic fermentation and extensive lees-stirring during the 14 months of barrel ageing further enriched the sumptuous flavour profile.
