The Cachette is Tantalus Estate's most refined Chardonnay - fine, elegant, and built with Burgundian intent from the ground up. Barrels sourced from Saint Romain, 40% new French oak, methodical bâtonnage, and a concrete egg fermentation on high solids: every decision here is deliberate, and the wine reflects it. Layered aromas of citrus flowers and lemon curd meld with brioche, nutmeg and baking spices, while a complex saline undercurrent runs beneath the creamy texture, keeping everything focused and alive. The mouthfeel is harmonious and seamless, the finish sophisticated and expansive. Cellaring potential through to 2029–2034.

Whole bunch pressed in a vertical basket and fermented on high solids in a concrete egg using a combination of indigenous and selected house yeasts. Matured for 12 months in carefully curated French oak barrels from Saint Romain, Burgundy, with methodical bâtonnage throughout. Bottled under ultra-premium 1by1 natural cork - a fitting closure for a wine of this calibre.

Food Pairing

Crayfish with beurre blanc, pan-seared scallops, roast chicken with cream sauce, or aged gruyère. The wine's saline precision, creamy texture, and citrus-driven complexity make it a natural match for refined seafood and classic French-inspired dishes.
