A new wine for the Scout team. This is a blend of Chardonnay (70%) and Riesling (30%) sourced from the Bendigo and Pisa sub-region. The Chardonnay is sourced from the Lapis Lazuli vineyard, located at high elevation (450 metres) on the Bendigo terraces.

Its steep slopes face north and the soils are degraded schist. The clone is the 809, a clone that Sarah tells us works well with skin contact and has a unique floral, muscat character The Riesling is sourced from the organically grown Pisa Terrace vineyard which lies on a misture of Greywacke and glacially eroded schist rock with a thin covering of wind-blown loess.

The Chardonnay was wild fermented on skins for two weeks with an occasional hand plunge. The Riesling was added post fermentation and the wine was bottled unfined and unfiltered.
