Description
"“The 2015 Chardonnay offers a beautifully scented nose of jasmine, acacia honey and apricots, plus notes of crushed cashews, buttered toast and spiced apple slices. Medium-bodied, rich and generously fruited in the mouth, it has layers of savory toast, honey/spice and stone fruit flavors, finishing with a refreshing lift." Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Advocate
The Seresin Estate Chardonnay is an appealing wine on the nose, with notes of citrus, toasted almond and apple. The palate is focused and bright, with hints of grapefruit, nectarine and peach. The acidity is firm and linear, giving backbone to the soft orchard-fruit core and carrying through to a long fragrant finish.
A cool start to the year, with some late frosts, but the weather was settled for flowering and fruit set. The summer was warm and very dry, resulting in berries and bunches being smaller than average. Harvest took place in good conditions, resulting in fruit which showed aromatic ripeness as well as a balanced, fresh acidity.
The fruit was hand-sorted and whole-bunch pressed, lightly settled overnight and sent to barrel. Each parcel was naturally fermented in a mixture of barriquesand puncheons, no new oak. The wine went through malolactic fermentation, which occurred naturally in barrel. After 10 months in oak, the wine was blended, lightly filtered and bottled without fining.
Suitable for Vegans.
