Denton is a superb, unique terroir. It is shaped like a cone & sits on solid granite bedrock with granitic sandy soils above. This is key to the character and quality of the wines grown here. Recent innovation and investment in the vineyard have focused on enriching and reinvigorating soil health through organic management, under-vine cultivation and a move towards eliminating herbicides. 

The 2024 Estate Chardonnay shows just how dialled-in the Denton team are to their land. Their fruit was hand-picked from the close-planted Gingin and B95 blocks on February 20 under clear skies and mild conditions. The Gingin brings texture and mid-palate weight whilst the 95 block gives drive, purity and line. In the winery, the bunches were foot-stomped and whole-bunch pressed into barrels (15% new) for fermentation. A touch of malo gives this wine a glossy sheen.

"A full, bright green gold. Aromas of ripe stone fruits and zest mingle with attractive, light sea spray notes. Medium bodied, fresh on entry and flavoursome through the mid-palate, with enough balanced acidity for this to age nicely over the next three to four years."
