Nikau Farm Gippsland Ceramic Chardonnay 2024
Gippsland / Victoria // Australia
This vineyard, sitting on the banks of the Nicholson River, was instrumental in putting Gippsland Chardonnay on the map in the 1980’s, 90’s and 2000’s —just ask Max Allen— and now has an average vine age of 47 years.
The vines are dry grown and farmed using sustainable, organic practices (though not certified). The soils as you would expect are alluvial gravels and clays (from silt). The vineyard is cropped extremely low at approximately 0.8t to the acre and is entirely comprised of the p58 clone. This clone was one of the first Chardonnay clones brought into Australia, in 1958, in fact, from France. It is itself naturally low cropping and generally produces a very fine, complex wine leaning toward the lemon and lime spectrum.
Bottled by gravity, sealed with cork and beeswax.
