Summary: Cowpunk is leading the charge for the modern drinker seeking wines made in a hands-off manner but still want complexity and enjoyment. Cowpunk features wines which are vegan, preservative free, and source the best quality fruit, naturally.
Winemaking: Sourced from an established single vineyard site located just south of the Margaret River township. Handpicked, whole bunch pressed, with only free run juice taken for this wine. Pressed straight to second-use oak where it was fermented on full solids. This wine spent three months on yeast lees with intermittent stirring and a further 3 months in a combination of larger oak and steel tank prior to blending.
Vintage 2024: Margaret River had an early, fast-paced harvest with ideal conditions for high-quality Chardonnay. A warm, dry growing season led to lower yields but produced exceptionally concentrated fruit with bright natural acidity. Chardonnay was picked early to preserve freshness and purity, resulting in wines that are vibrant, textural, and finely balanced—a standout year for this flagship white variety.
Tasting Note: vibrant and expressive white, offering lemon citrus, white florals, and pale stone fruit aromas. The palate is bright and finely textured, balancing buttery oak, zesty lemon-lime, and a hint of grapefruit with refreshing acidity
