The Basket Town Chardonnay is sourced from three sites in the Adelaide Hills: the Kas Sluiter Vineyard in Mylor; the Piccadilly Vineyard owned by Dave Fresci in Carey Gully; and the Commune of Buttons Vineyard in Basket Range. The cooler conditions meant the fruit ripened about two weeks later than average (late March). Each parcel was whole bunch pressed and racked to a mixture of barriques, hogsheads and puncheons. The wines matured for eight months on full lees before being blended and sent to a tank for a further three months maturation.
