Description

• Savoury oak
• White peach

"Youthful, vibrant and delicate, the wine shows grapefruit, Granny Smith apple, lemon peel and floral characters on the nose, leading to a brightly expressed palate that displays elegant weight and fine texture backed by lively acidity, finishing long and mouth-watering. At its best: now to 2022" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Aug 2019

Light straw colour in the glass with pale green hues. White peach, citrus and melon flavours combine with savoury oak on the nose. On the palate the wine has a pleasing texture and good length with a clean finish.

Angove Organic Chardonnay is sourced from organically certified vineyards in the Riverland and McLaren Vale regions of South Australia. Vintage in most of Australia’s wine regions started early but slowly after a dry mild spring with many varieties started their growing season earlier than had been the case for the past 5 years. Yields were generally lower but the quality and varietal expression supurb. Mild weather continued through January and February and careful attention in the vineyard was needed to ensure picking occurred at peak flavour ripeness.

Picked late at night to harvest the grapes as cold as possible the grapes were transported to the winery and pressed using modern membrane tank presses. After cold settling the clear juice was carefully racked to cooled fermentation tanks and inoculated with selected yeasts. Cool fermentation was followed by minimal handling filtration and bottling at the Angove winery.
