chardonnay grapes are grown specifically for the Grand Jeté on the elevated, south facing slopes of our Mt. Barrow vineyard in the Mount Barker sub region of the Great Southern. At an altitude of 380M, the cooling breezes off the southern ocean allow us to capture delicate fruit flavours and retain fine acidity in the wine. The grapes are hand harvested in early February between 10 and 11 degrees Baume and only the finest free run juice is retained.

Vibrant fruit notes of citrus and white peach meld with subtle notes of pâtisserie to imply a delicate complexity. The palate showcases an elegant yet rich combination of the citrus and stone fruit flavours of Chardonnay layered with freshly baked brioche and fine cashew meal from a long time on lees. As the initial mouth filling effervescence gently disperses into a creamy texture, the flavour of the palate lingers on the fine linear acidity of the finish. An elegant fruit style which is enhanced by the extended time on lees and finished with a perfect acid balance.
