GREAT ESCAPE CHARDONNAY
The Great Escape Chardonnay
McLaren Vale
Great Escape is our benchmark, cool climate Chardonnay produced from fruit grown in elevated vineyard sites which allow for a long ripening period which helps to maintain the natural sugar and acid balance of the grape. With moderate alcohol, focussed, crisp citrus fruit and a mouthwatering finish, this is an accomplished, truly modern style of this noble variety.
Citrussy, subtle oak influence and a bright yet creamy palate.
Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

Viticulture
Sourced from one single vineyard, the highest altitude in McLaren Vale, bordering the Adelaide Hills.
Winemaking
Fruit went directly to press after picking. The free run juice was run off to tank to settle. We retain a relatively high level of solids in the ferment, all of which is wild fermented in used French oak or concrete egg. We do not encourage malolactic as we want to preserve the crisp, citrus fruit profile.
