Aged in barrel for 18 months, it is a blend created from a selection of the winemaker’s best Chardonnay barrels. The EBM Chardonnay 2021 is a blend of 3 different vineyard parcels, comprising 3 different clones, predominantly Mendoza with a small portion of Clone 6 and 548. Matured in barrique on gross lie for 18 months, before blending, stabilisation and bottling. Hand-picked, whole-bunch pressed and wild fermented.
