Four Fables

A delicate nose of white flowers and lemon pith opens the wine, leading into a palate driven by pure minerality. Notes of fresh apple and a hint of bitter almond add depth, while the finish is precise, elegant, and refreshing.

100% Chardonnay

Our 4-hectare Chardonnay block crowns the top of Greenhurst Field, basking in full sun on its south-facing slope. Warm, sandy loam soils and open skies encourage even ripening, while a mix of clones takes full advantage of the site’s microclimate. The result is Chardonnay with bright acidity, layered complexity, and refined, balanced fruit.

Sandy Silt Loam: Sand - 33.8%, Silt - 51.69%, Clay - 14.51%

This early release comes from a select portion of our main Chardonnay, meticulously sorted to capture only the finest fruit. Whole-bunch pressed and fermented in a 1700-litre concrete egg, it rested on its lees until spring before finishing in stainless steel with a touch of oak. Bottled unfined and unfiltered, the wine preserves its natural texture, freshness, and vibrant expression.

2024 was cooler and wetter, but the Chardonnay blocks flourished. With less vegetative growth than other varieties, the vines concentrated on fruit development, producing larger, well-formed bunches. Sunny, sandy soils supported steady ripening, yielding a wine of elegant minerality and concentrated fruit character.

Perfect with delicate, fresh flavours — from grilled Dover sole with lemon and herbs to roast chicken with tarragon and crème fraîche. A vegan match is asparagus risotto with a touch of lemon zest, where the wine’s crispness and citrus notes lift the dish.
