Man o' War ‘Valhalla’ Chardonnay 2022 2017 Oscar and Eva select fromVintage 2022 was a near perfect season with excellent conditions throughout the year with one slight hiccup being some salt damage to the leaf canopy in the vineyards due to a large storm in early February putting some pressure on the Chardonnay. To preserve the integrity of the fruit and to give the wine an element of refinement in a hot year we carried out an early pick from our elevated hilltop vineyards which gives a fresh crisp edge to the wine.
