Production Notes
Production Notes
The grapes were harvested by hand and separated by clone. Each Chardonnay clone was fermented separately in third fill Burgundy barrels, with different yeasts and press fractions tailored to each clone’s characteristics. ‘KC2’ Chardonnay was predominantly clones 95 and 121, with the former bringing structure and richness and the latter providing freshness. A small proportion of clones FR155 and 76 was also included for their intense aromatics. The wines were aged for 11 months in barrel before blending and bottling. Blending was determined by careful barrel selection, with barrels exuding particularly savoury and complex citrus flavours selected for the final blend of ‘KC2’.
