Venus Block Orange Chardonnay

Pepper Tree Venus Block Orange Chardonnay is grown in the winery's high altitude vineyard in Orange. It takes its name from the grazier's wife who owned the land for many years before the vines.

The Venus Block is 800 metres above sea level, ensuring a long cool ripening season, perfectly suited to Chardonnay.

The fruit is handpicked in the early morning, chilled and whole bunch pressed. The juice ferments in French oak with both cultured and wild yeast. It matures in oak for 10 months before blending and bottling.

Straw green, Pepper Tree Venus Block Orange Chardonnay is an intense cool climate Chardonnay with stone fruit flavours and integrated oak. Cellaring potential is six years.
