2004 was a superb year for white wines in many areas of South Australia. With optimal weather and ripening conditions preceding harvest, Chardonnay vineyards in the Barossa Valley, Eden Valley, Adelaide Hills, and Adelaide Plains produced some outstanding quality fruit. Each area from which Trevor picked his grapes contributes a distinctly unique character. What you have as a result in the 2004 ‘Virgin’ Chardonnay is a white wine with great depth of herbaceous fruit, medium to full-bodied fruit-driven structure, and an elegant crisp finish.

It’s called a Virgin Chardonnay because it is untouched by any oak influence. The only wood that had anything to do with this wine was the trunks of the vines on which the grapes grew.
