Oakridge 864 Chardonnay
The pristine, expressive and genre‑leading Oakridge 864 Chardonnay profoundly reflects the power of the Yarra Valley landscape and empathy of spirit. Low-cropping vineyards, hand picking, whole bunch pressing, oxidative handling, natural yeasts, high solids, warm ferments and maturation in oak puncheons result in a wine of superb white peach and flinty aromatics, fine, chalky yet supple textures, and a precise line of purity.
