2025 ‘Truscott Block’ Chardonnay
The Truscott Block is situated at 550m above sea level in the Piccadilly sub-region of the Adelaide Hills. The block is located on an undulating slope that is generally E-NE in aspect and consists of silty loam over deep clays, with sandstone and quartz peppered throughout.
The block features a mix of Chardonnay clones with an average age of 30+ years. The high altitude means the block was harvested four weeks later than the Magpie Block, and the fruit exhibits the classic weight, acid and power of the Piccadilly Valley.
The fruit was whole-bunch pressed and racked to French oak hogsheads (25% new) with full solids. The wines underwent malolactic fermentation and remained on lees for 10 months before blending and bottling.
