Moppity Emprise Chardonnay

Emprise is drawn exclusively from Block 20 at the Coppabella vineyard, a single-site expression of Tumbarumba Chardonnay. In this elevated setting, the fruit consistently carries natural tension and clarity, but in 2024 the block has also delivered more breadth and quiet power, making it especially well suited to a more layered barrel- aged style.

Hand-picked fruit was cold pressed direct to French oak puncheons and barriques, with 30% new oak, allowing fermentation and élevage to build texture and shape from the outset. The oak is intended as structure rather than flavour, framing the fruit while preserving the vineyard’s mineral line and cool-climate definition.
