Tank Five embraces experimentation in the winery. Each harvest, the winemaking team selects parcels of grapes which they feel will make the best expression of still wine from that year. This iteration is made from 100% Chardonnay, sourced entirely from our Wiston vineyards. This wine is a blend of two distinct Chardonnay components from the 2022 and 2023 vintages. Fruit from the Broadwoods site (planted 2017) was harvested in 2022 with slightly reduced yields but excellent concentration. The 1er Taille was vinified in stainless steel and matured on its lees, preserving purity and minerality while building texture and complexity.

In 2023, a portion of Chardonnay from Findon was fermented and aged in oak for nine months. A small selection was retained for extended maturation, developing additional depth, structure, and integration. The final blend brings together stainless steel–aged and barrel-aged components, combining freshness, precision, and layered complexity.

Words From The Winemaker- Marcus:

The story of this wine begins in 2022 — a landmark year for us. It was the year Meg and I were married, and the year we took the helm at the winery. A warm, settled summer brought slightly lower yields, but in return gifted us fruit of remarkable quality.

From the bright, mineral precision of our stainless steel–aged Broadwoods fruit to the depth and quiet power of barrel-aged Chardonnay from Findon, this wine brings together two distinct expressions of our vineyards.

In uniting these elements, we’ve created a wine that speaks clearly of our Estate — its fruit, its energy, and a defining moment in our journey.
