Its altitude, mountain influence and cool nights help fruit ripen slowly while preserving natural acidity. This gives Chardonnay from the region its bright citrus character, stone fruit detail, fine structure and mineral freshness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe fruit for this Chardonnay comes from the Maragle Valley, just north of Mount Kosciuszko and near the Victorian border. The vineyard sits around 500 metres above sea level, with warm days followed by sharply cooling nights as cold mountain air moves through the valley. This unique setting helps build full flavour at lower sugar levels, giving the wine depth without heaviness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe fruit was hand picked, lightly pressed to French oak puncheons and amphoras, then matured for 14 months on gross lees before bottling.
