2018 Nocturne Single Vineyard Chardonnay
Nocturne
In Margaret River it’s fair to say we’re pretty lucky when it comes to lovely, even growing seasons. Yet sometimes certain seasons stand tall, and the 2018 season may just stand the tallest in my more than 20 harvests. This is single-vineyard Chardonnay from the 0.37Ha Tassell Park site in Treeton. The vineyard is interplanted with gin gin clone and Burgundian 277 clone. Whole bunch-pressed directly to new, one- and two-year-old puncheons, with no settling or fining processes. Spontaneous fermentation, with the wine staying on gross lees unsulphured until September of that year. In December the wine was emptied from barrel, settled, filtered and bottled. – Julian & Alana Langworthy

From a 0.37ha site on the Tassell Park Vineyard. Whole-bunch pressed to new and used puncheons, wild-fermented, no intervention until SO2 in Sept '18. A wine with the precision of a rapier as you taste it. It's slightly reductive, which I see as a positive. It certainly leaves the mouth fresh.
