Fox river Chardonnay 2024

VINTAGE & WINEMAKING

The 2024 season brought early budburst and a hot, dry growing period in Mount Barker, leading to an early harvest and producing full-bodied, layered, and complex Chardonnay.

Night harvested fruit was gently pressed and fermented in stainless steel, with a portion in French oak using selected yeast at 15–25°C. The wine rested on lees with regular stirring before blending, creating a complex yet approachable Chardonnay with bright fruit and savoury depth.

RIESLING
2021

VINTAGE & WINEMAKING

The 2021 season brought above average winter rainfall and a dry, mild summer, perfect for ripening Riesling with vibrant acidity and fine tannins. Handpicked fruit was quickly destemmed, crushed, and pressed to preserve freshness. The clear juice was racked to tank and cool fermented with a champagne yeast strain to enhance purity and aroma. Post ferment, the wine rested on lees for three months to develop texture and complexity before racking, fining, stabilisation, and bottling. The result is a bright, well-structured Riesling with freshness, finesse, and impressive flavour clarity.

THE WINE

Pale straw in colour, this wine offers aromas of lemon blossom, citrus leaf, lanolin, and flinty notes. The palate is intense and citrus-driven, with fine phenolics and a crisp, acid led finish. With age, it has gained palate weight and greater harmony between tannin and acidity.
