2023 La Petite Mort Chardonnay was an experiment in barrel format - size really does matter! Although we fermented and aged it in a brand new, premium, French barrel, the oak influence is lessened because it was a great big puncheon (~500L) as opposed to the standard barrique (~225L). If you remember any of your high school geometry, you'll recall that as the diameter of a circle increases, the ratio of its perimeter decreases relative to the area - Less oak per litre, in other words! Gorgeous spicy, cedary French oak blends seamlessly with pithy, pink grapefruit and ripe tangelo notes in this bold, yet balanced, expression of new-school Australian Chardonnay.

Unusual, confronting and a little left of the middle. La Petite Mort (LPM) is the home of our 'other' wines. These small batch, experimental wines are produced with minimal wine making intervention and put into bottle without filtering or fining to allow the raw essence of our experimentation to shine through. Rustic and characterful, LPM wines promise a unique sensory experience and a story behind every label.
