Description
Pale straw in the glass with a bouquet that is a symphony of citrus, peach blossom and rockmelon, accented by sweet notes of toasted brioche with creamed honey. The sweet spice characters of fresh hot-cross buns and a touch of cheesy funk adds exotic complexity to the bouquet. The palate is awash with the flavours of fresh citrus, white peach and lemongrass and is creamy yet crisp with excellent natural acidity. This vintage has near-perfect structure and flow across the palate. The flavours on the palate are also complemented by honeyed oatmeal, vanilla and cocoa butter with a hint of yeasty sourdough. The palate is long and luscious with a creamy mid palate leading through to a crisply refreshing finish.
The 2016 Summers Chardonnay fruit was sourced from the premium cool climate region of Adelaide Hills. The 2016 vintage is the first vintage of Summers Chardonnay to be 100% sourced from the Adelaide Hills, which is becoming widely regarded as one of the best Chardonnay regions in Australia. This vintage saw warm and dry conditions during December and January with cooler conditions following, allowing full ripening with rich flavour development.
This is a single-vineyard (90% of the fruit for this wine was sourced from the Short Vineyard, Balhannah) Chardonnay that has been lovingly crafted from top-quality hand-picked fruit. After harvest the fruit was chilled, gently whole-bunch pressed and vinified in premium French Oak barrels, with a specially selected range of yeast strains. Maturation was in oak on full yeast lees with regular battonage aids to create a complex and creamy style of Chardonnay. The finished product is superbly complex and elegant wine with both richness and finesse, giving it ageing potential of up to 20 years from vintage.
