ODEON Charodnnay [2023]

Our pinnacle Chardonnay.

Just 737 bottles produced.
Handcrafted in the Adelaide Hills.
Balance is our focus here. Everything perfect. Nothing sticking out. 

The epitome of elegance. A graceful confluence of strength and finesse. A delicate pirouette and a soaring leap, executed with precision and restraint.

Complex and nuanced. A nod to the depth of love and labour involved in the growing and making. Textured and layered, it delivers across the classic Chardonnay profile. You’ll find citrus, green apple, peach and roasted cashew. Nothing stands out. Entirely the point.

The influence of Oak is seamless, showing real intent for poise, allowing space for the influences of minerality, lees contact and secondary fermentation characters. Harmony is hard but as you’re about to experience it; extremely rewarding.

Wild Yeast Fermentation in barrel. Significant solids retained in Fermentation.

50% MLF. Matured in French Oak for 10 months prior to bottling. 40% New Oak. 60% 1 year old oak. Minimal intervention Chardonnay making. No fining or polishing of this wine prior to bottle. Aiming for purity and authenticity from the vineyard.

Matured for 2.5 years in bottle before release.
