Promised Land is a reference to ancient fossilised seahorses on the Taylor vineyards, indicating a bounty of the richest soils. Chardonnay is harvested at night from choice sites which can demonstrate the quality of fruit that's essential for Promised Land. Bunches are de-stemmed, chilled, gently pressed and cold settled. Vinification is carried out after inoculation to an aromatic strain of yeast, at moderate temperatures for up to a fortnight. Upon completion, batches are treated to a course of lees battonage stirring, increasing creaminess and palate texture. Assemblage into the finished wine, unwooded and unoaked, is followed by minimal fining and filtration to protect vital aromas and flavours. Alcohol 13.5%
