Description
Winemaker:
Dr Richard McIntyre
Winemakers Notes:
The fruit has lovely citrus and white peach and nectarine characters. It was whole bunch pressed and juice run straight into French oak barrel (15 new) for fermentation. No cultured yeast was added; the ferment took place thanks to the wild yeast present on the grapes and in the winery. This results in a slight reduction of primary fruit characters and an increase in secondary savoury complexing notes, as well as a silkier, rounder texture. After fermentation, the wine was aged and stirred on lees (the dead yeast cells) for approx 10 months. This encouraged some cheesy toasty creamy notes in the wine - further complexity. The wine was bottled in December after fining and filtration.
Harvest details:
100 French Oak (15% new) for 7 months
Cellarage:
To 2015
Closure:
Diam Technical Cork
Tasting Note:
An elegant, cool climate chardonnay with the citrus and stone fruit of the region, complemented by savoury toast, cheese, roasted nuts and cedary spice from the winemaking. Creamy and full bodied on the palate, with a long yet crisp finish.
Serving Suggestion:
A versatile and complex wine that is surprisingly easy to drink. Serve with a classic free range roast chicken, lobster salad or a plate of smoked meats.
