More Details:
Harvest
In 2015 there was an immediate clarity of Chardonnay flavour from the moment that the fruit was received in the winery. The harvest season commenced on March 13th and culminated on March 31st.
Vinification
After gentle pressing, the juice was pumped into barrels. The vinification utilised naturally occurring yeast populations to undergo a wild fermentation. A portion of the wine was fermented with full solids in order to build additional texture and complexity in the wine. After fermentation the wine rested in French oak barrel for one year of maturation.
Features:
• Deliciously savoury
• Exotic flavours of orange blossom and preserved lemon with an undertow of smoky less character
• Classic characters of zesty grapefruit and citrus rind
• The wine lingers with roasted hazelnut notes and linseed flavours on the finish
