2023 Hillier Blanc Block 130
• 100% Estate Grown Chardonnay, vineyard planted by Andre Gagne in 2018
• Hand-harvested fruit, 15kg totes, October 4th 2023
• Whole cluster pressed in a water pressure basket press
• Settled for one day
• Spontaneous fermentation with a pied de cuve
• Alcoholic fermentation in 50% steel and 50% oak barrels
• Spontaneous Malo-lactic fermentation & elevage will into summer 2024
• Barrel & steel portions blended for bottling
• Unfiltered & unfined
• Lightly sulphured after Malo & at bottling
• Bottled by hand in February of 2025
Growing conditions in 2023 resulted in very ripe fruit with harvest brix at 22.7. The final alcohol was measured at 13.8 (with 13% declared on label). The nose is very distinctive, the mouth feel is rich with great fruit (stone fruit & Meyer lemon) and a finish that lasts forever due to the acid spine. Really shows the unique Hillier lakefront terroir as expressed by Chardonnay.
