The 1066 Chardonnay is defined by its low yields - exceptionally small berries and bunches that concentrate the fruit and intensify the chardonnay character. Because of these yields, the clone is most often used in blends; here, we've chosen to let it stand alone, allowing this tiny giant to be the hero of its own wine.
The wine was fermented in Taransaud Pure T French oak barrels, selected to enhance both the minerality and the expression of the clone. Initially restrained on the nose, it gradually opens to reveal generous, mouth-filling flavours where grapefruit and mandarin come together in bright harmony. A subtle hint of salinity adds complexity, while vibrant Ohiti acidity carries the wine through to a long, refreshing finish.
Crafted by Nature, Perfected by Hand
At Kokako Farms, we believe that great wine isn't just made; it is grown. Our commitment to small-batch production and minimal intervention winemaking allows the unique terroir of our coastal estate to shine through in every bottle. By balancing traditional heritage with a deep respect for the land, we produce limited-edition expressions that are as sophisticated as they are authentic.
Limited Production
Our vines thrive in the unique coastal climate and ancient soils of the north, resulting in wines with vibrant character and a distinct sense of place.
Sustainable Craft
We prioritize quality over volume, using low-intervention methods to ensure the natural integrity and complex flavors of the fruit remain the hero.
