Our Wadandi Country Chardonnay, hailing from some of the oldest landscapes on the planet, and showing the influence of soils rich with granite and limestone.
2023 Wadandi Country Chardonnay
Margaret River, Western Australia
Some of the oldest geology on Earth, where rolling vineyards sit atop ancient granite bedrocks that form part of the Yilgarn Craton - a geological formation over 2.5 billion years old. These bedrocks have weathered into ironstone gravel, loamy sands, and limestone-rich soils, often layered in deep laterite. Soils here retain moisture well yet drain freely, fostering slow, even ripening. Cooling maritime breezes that flow off the Indian Ocean temper summer heat and extend ripening periods. Wines from this region are shaped as much by ocean wind and ancient granite as by vine or barrel.
This is Wadandi munda, enduring, elemental, and quietly exacting.
