Grapes are picked at the onset of fruit ripeness throughout the cooler parts of day to preserve quality and ensure minimal extracts. Parcels are separately pressed and vinified to retain the uniqueness of each site. King Valley yields a quality of Pinot Noir with bright cranberry flavours, Mount Macedon makes Chardonnay with a mineral, linear element, Strathbogie Chardonnay lends a zesty lime citrus note. The final assemblage is treated to over three years ageing on sedimentery lees while treated to a traditional course of bottle riddling. Chandon Cuvée 500 is disgorged and dosaged, resealed and rested in bottle before release, contributing an additional measure of integration and complexity to the wine. Alcohol 12.5%
