2024 marked the third time we’ve filled our 675-litre ceramic slip-cast vessel that was hand crafted in Byron Bay.

As a neutral vessel with micro porosity and passive convection, it brings a unique character to the wine: fine lees remain in suspension, building layered texture while enhancing the wine’s electric, mineral-driven edge.

The 2024 rendition is a return to a purer form, after the 2023 was a little bit of a wild card. The wine has a nice balance between citrus and stone fruit, showing a little more ripeness and plushness than previous iterations. A little softer and a joy to drink with a delicious pumice stone minerality coming from the ceramic.

The fruit was harvested off two of our blocks, we then chilled the whole clusters over night and destemmed the fruit the following morning before going into our bladder press. Fermentation kicked off in stainless steel before being transferred to the egg just ahead of sugar dryness.

Bottled unfiltered and unfined with no additions, the wine shows a slight haze and elevated dissolved CO₂.

We’re loving the purity and focus of this Chardonnay from our farm - textural, mineral and alive.
