Ministry of Clouds Adelaide Hills Chardonnay 2023

All fruit was handpicked then whole bunch pressed to a mixture of new and old barrels (35% new) with full solids included for wild ferment. Post fermentation, all barrels were topped and remained un-sulphured until we believed the balance of natural acidity and gentle MLF complexity had been achieved. No battonage was undertaken, but maturation on fine lees for 9months, and MLF at approximately 35% has built gentle texture and complexity.
