The GC Chardonnay (GC – Gary Charles) is attributed to all the knowledge extracted from Gary to create a high density planting of chardonnay on an exposed côte. Facing north, north-east and east for the full combination of soil types. This site will be the backbone of the Farr dynasty for decades to come. 50% new French oak.

Specific to the Chardonnays, the fruit is hand-picked then whole-bunch pressed in the winery. Slow natural ferments take place (in barrel) generally over 1-2 months. Stirring only to kickstart Malo-Ferment. The wine is then racked, fined and lightly filtered. The Viognier, in order to extract the phenols for more complexity, flavor and texture, is first foot stomped for 2+hours. Then it rolls into barrel following the same natural slow ferments as above. Generally wines are bottled 11mons after they are picked.
