2010 Chardonnay
Colour
Medium Straw
Bouquet
White peach, typical of McLaren Vale with citrus and melon
Palate
Lovely length and structure with flavours of white peach, citrus and melon. This wine is a great example of a fresh flavoursome McLaren Vale Chardonnay with little influence from the winemaker which allows the talent of the grower to shine, as the vineyard is where truly great wines are made
Winemaking
Fruit was sourced from a vineyard on the southern slopes of McLaren Vale, where the fruit was picked in the early hours of the morning. The grapes were delivered to the winery and de-stemmed before being soft pressed. The pressings were kept separate and after cold settling and clarification, the juice undertook a cool fermentation. An aromatic yeast isolate was selected to enhance the aromatics
Cellaring
Made to drink upon release while the fruit flavour is at its most fresh and vibrant, but will develop more complexity over the short term
