A more mature, complex but structured style
Stephen Wong, MW
Description
Cream, Off-dry, Pastry
"Golden developed colour. A richer, biscuity, honeyed style with ginger and spice notes. Showing clear development on the palate, fleshy ripe stone-fruit and heirloom apples fill the mouth with a creamy texture and a tangy, off-dry finish where pastry notes reappear. A more mature, complex but structured style" Stephen Wong, Master of Wine, Real Review, Aug 2024
Aromas of brioche, sweet pastry, and toasted citrus on the nose. A great balance between the rich autolyse character with the delicate fruit notes. This is mirrored by the creamy palate and refreshing acidity that creates tension and poise in the wine.
Clone 15 Chardonnay from the Corners Vineyard was hand harvested and whole bunch pressed. The free run juice was transferred to 70% stainless steel and 30 % seasoned oak barrels for fermentation without settling. After a short warm fermentation, the wine was left on full lees and underwent indigenous MLF in spring. The wine was then tirage bottled and matured for 3.5 years prior to disgorging. 4g/l residual sugar.
