Chardonnay
Margaret River, Western Australia
Intense aromas of rockmelon, grapefruit and cucumber with underlying nuances of seasoned oak. A light to medium bodied style that displays a zippy acid line with pronounced fresh pink grapefruit, rockmelon and cucumber filling the palate. The seasoned oak assists with structure and length. A fresh and long finish with lingering fruit flavours.
$40 each
Description
The fruit is hand harvested from very low yielding vines in the Wilyabrup/Treeton sub-regions of Margaret River. The fruit (Gin Gin clone) was refrigerated for 24 hours and allowed to cool down before being whole bunch pressed direct to a mix of one and two year old and three year old French oak barriques where it remained on solids for seven months prior to bottling. The barrel component was a ‘wild’/natural ferment with regular stirring of the lees daily through fermentation and then as required post ferment. There was no Malo-lactic fermentation on either component. There was no fining or filtering prior to bottling.
