state, South Australia - one of the most celebrated and diverse
growing regions in the world.
Grapes for these wines are sourced from the premium growing
region of the Limestone Coast. This wine is produced, blended
and bottled into a fresh, fruit driven style which is perfect for
everyday drinking or more salubrious occasions.Sourced from 13 year-old-vines in Southern Coonawarra, the
grapes for our 2019 Lost Weekend Chardonnay were picked from
the 8th to the 12th of March.
Following harvest, the fruit was pressed off skins and the
pressings were kept separate and fermented cool for 35 days.
The wine was then racked off gross lees to keep the style clean
and crisp before being matured in stainless steel for 5 months
prior to bottling.
Lost Weekend is a fresh and vibrant style of Chardonnay which
will reward short to medium term cellaring. Best shared with a
large group of friends over a big haul of freshly caught seafood!
This refreshing, aromatic wine has wonderful aromas of fresh limes and ripe
citrus, with a juicy gooseberry palate and lingering finish. Pair it with your
favourite seafood and pasta dishes. The fruit for this wine was grown in four Wairarapa vineyards, each with
differing soils. One is stony loams, from which this wine is predominantly
produced, while the others are a mixture of silt loams and hillside clays. This
variety provides different flavour profiles, which helps us to increase the
complexity of the finished wine. These vines are relatively young, and are
cropped at low yield levels to give intensely flavoured grapes.
The focus in the winery is to capture the pure fruit flavours that come from the
vineyard, whilst adding complexity through our winemaking efforts to produce
a multi-dimensional wine. This is achieved by tank fermenting the juice using
yeasts that are able to ferment at low temperatures – preserving the essential
fruit flavours.
