This site is always first cab off the rank for picking at Garagiste and can be harvested as early as two weeks before Merricks—highlighting the impact of aspect for grape growing on the Peninsula. Fruit is hand harvested from 32-year-old, dry-grown, north-facing vines on grey-black sandy soils over brown sandy loam. Like the Merricks Chardonnay, this was hand-sorted and whole-bunch pressed, followed by natural primary fermentation with high levels of solids in François Frères 500-litre puncheons (25% new). A small portion went through natural malolactic fermentation and the wine then rested on full gross lees with no bâtonnage for nine months before bottling.

Reviews

“Rich, pastry dough, spice, peach and pear. Lots of flavour here, all peach and almond pastry, with a distinctly saline flavour profile, pear and ripe lime, a little flint and struck match, though a bit more diffuse and breathy than the Merricks. Bold pear and bready flavour, with a spicy and green flecked finish of good length. Quite a lot of wine.”
93 points, Gary Walsh, Wine Front
"The bright, pale gold-glinting green hue is like a siren saying, ‘Drink me, drink me'. Oh, alright then. A supple and juicy, tangy and vibrant offering with fine layers of texture from cashew lees and subtle spicy oak with fine acidity leading the wine into a linear path."
