Winery notes (2024 Vintage)
"The 2024 Offshoot Chardonnay displays stone fruit and citrus aromas on the nose, complemented by hints of toasted almonds and subtle vanilla oak. Chalky characters carry through to the palate, where a creamy, elegant mouthfeel integrates seamlessly with fine French oak. This wine shows excellent structure, balanced fruit weight, and a refined, lingering finish. Enjoy now or cellar for up to five years to allow further development and complexity.

Chardonnay from 30-year-old vines off our Home Block on Rapaura Road were used. Handpicked fruit was gently pressed, 100% free-run juice was immediately filled to large oak casks for a high solid, indigenous fermentation. Following fermentation, 80% went through natural malolactic fermentation. The wine was aged in barrel on lees for 12 months and a further 6 months in tank before being bottled. The oak regime consisted of 100% French oak, 20% of which were new."

Rated Excllent & 93/100 Cameron Douglas MS, December 2024 (2024 Vintage)
"I really enjoy the modern approach of the off-shoot style. The lees and wild natural ferment qualities add complexity and texture and enhance the natural fruit flavours of citrus and pomaceous fruits. Crisp, taut and dry with flavours of lemon and grapefruit then apple. Textured, mealy mouthfeel, leesy and delicious. Best from early 2026 through 2030."
