Descendants of Arthur South Australia Organic Chardonnay 2024

Product Description

Winery Background

Descendants of Arthur is a boutique winery situated in the Gilbert Valley, part of the Mount Lofty Ranges region between the Clare and Barossa Valleys in South Australia. The estate is dedicated to producing handcrafted organic wines that authentically reflect the variety and region, focusing on growing high-quality grapes in an organic environment.

Vineyards and Vintage Conditions

The 2024 vintage benefited from a growing season that allowed for the development of rich fruit concentration. The organically managed vineyards, with well-draining soils, contributed to the wine’s depth, vibrancy, and balanced acidity, ensuring the fruit's integrity was maintained throughout the winemaking process.

Winemaking

Grapes were hand-harvested and gently pressed to extract pure juice. Fermentation took place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the varietal’s crisp and vibrant character. Minimal intervention techniques ensured the wine retained its clean, fresh profile and lively acidity, with subtle oak integration adding complexity.
