A fresh and vibrant Chardonnay that takes its name from the age-old practice of planting wheat between the rows of vines, as a natural way to prevent weeds and stabilise the topsoil. This is just one of several organic and bio-dynamic practices on our estate, and the wine pays homage to the preservation and protection of nature under our stewardship at Journey’s End.

about the harvest: The grapes were handpicked between 21 and 23° balling. A portion were pressed as whole bunches, while the other portion was destemmed and
gently pressed.

in the cellar : The juice was left to settle for 24 hours enzymatically before being pumped into (95%) stainless steel tanks and (5%) older 300L French oak (10%) for fermentation. Different yeasts were used to enhance the flavour profile of the wine. Fermentation took around 25 days at temperatures ranging between 11 - 14 ̊C. The wine was then left in stainless steel tanks at low temperatures for a total of four months post- fermentation with weekly lees stirring to broaden the mouthfeel and enhance the wines preservation.
