Description

We aim to make a Chardonnay with great length, which reaches a balance between richness and elegance. While some techniques are borrowed from the Burgundians, there are some departures from traditional practice in response to local factors, which ensures a unique wine. The most notable of these is that our Chardonnay does not undergo malolactic fermentation, as our local climate leaves the fruit with ideal acidity when it is picked. Our Chardonnay is matured in 30% new French oak barriques with the remainder in older barrels and large casks (1500L). The entire production is barrel fermented. Relatively hard pressing is employed to give the wine texture and lees stirring is carried out to add complexity and body. The Chardonnay is matured in barrel for 11 months prior to bottling.

*there is no box included.

* the wine has been cellared in a temperature controlled wine fridge. Label and fill levels are checked prior to sending to ensure they are optimum. As this is a vintage wine it should be purchased and consumed with that in mind. It may require decanting/aeration. All sales with vintage wine are final and not refundable unless the wine is not as described (i.e. wrong bottle) as per consumer law.

*If  we are posting the wine to you then we will use specialty wine couriers when available. Alternatively, we will use Australia Post wine delivery service (if you would like us to wait until the weather is lower than 20 degrees celsius prior to posting, please contact us to advise, however note, this may cause a significant delay in the postage of your order). Otherwise your order will be posted within our normal processing times.
