Google will have you believe that Alchemy is defined as “a seemingly magical process of transformation, creation, or combination” This wine however, has had much calculated thought put into it by owner Neal Cave and winemaker Ant Mackenzie. Clones 15 and ENTAV-548, were handpicked, 100% barrel fermented in 30% new French oak and given a full malolactic ferment to create funky creaminess. It’s a smoky, complex, big-gun of a chardonnay that (as my Dad would say) will put hair on your chest.
