2022 CHARDONNAY
750 ML
The 2022 vintage was marked by an unexpected frost and snowfall in mid-April, precisely during the critical bud-break stage. This sudden cold snap posed a significant threat to the delicate buds, particularly affecting our chardonnay block.
Despite its typically advantageous location – east-facing, sheltered by the forest, and less exposed to harsh elements – these conditions impeded its recovery from the cold. Consequently, the vines struggled to generate much secondary growth, resulting in a substantial loss of fruit due to the weather incident.
Despite the challenges, we managed to salvage a limited yield, producing three exquisite barrels of 2022 Chardonnay.
