Cooke Brothers' 2022 Adelaide Hills Chardonnay, crafted by the skilled hands of Ben Cooke, is a testament to meticulous viticulture and precise winemaking. The vineyard's narrow row spacing, enhancing vine density, combined with the exclusive use of the Bernard clone 76, imparts a unique character to the grapes. Harvested on the 15th of March 2018, the handpicked clusters underwent a gentle whole bunch press, finding their way directly into 500L French oak Puncheons. The barrel fermentation, driven by indigenous yeast, and frequent stirring during its nine months on lees have nurtured a wine of unparalleled complexity. Bottled on the 28th of November 2018, a mere 2136 bottles were produced, each carrying the signature of a limited and exceptional expression of Adelaide Hills Chardonnay—rich, nuanced, and a testament to the artistry of Cooke Brothers.
