Description
The fruit was harvested and pressed directly into barrels and tanks where fermentation occurred using a mixture of indigenous and inoculated yeasts. The wine remained on lees with regular stirring throughout the winter to build texture. A portion of the wine went through malolactic fermentation to soften the texture of the palate. After 7 months aging we assembled the blend in tank and prepared for bottling.
The result is a complex chardonnay with citrus blossom, fresh toast and a hint of gun smoke on the nose. The palate is richly textured with flavours of peach, nectarine, lemon and toasty oak, leading to a long fresh finish.
Food Match: Roast chicken with garlic and kale, or with grilled pork loin and creamy mushroom sauce.
