Winemaking Notes

The perfect ripening conditions for Chardonnay in 2016 has produced a pinnacle wine for our portfolio, the first Chardonnay ever produced under the MJW label. The wine displays the hallmark concentrated citrus fruit flavours from the Gin Gin clone seamlessley balanced with the minerality and texture of Clone 95. Hand-harvesting, wild yeast fermentation, grape solids and French oak selection have all contributed texture, complexity and balance to the wine.
