Tasting Notes
From an established certified organic vineyard, Chardonnay plantings from 1985. Bright straw in colour. alluring complex flavours abound. Lemon citrus, chalky and white floral notes with a hint of oak and herbal flavours. A lovely fruit sweetness on the palate. Spicy hints intwined with white stone fruits and salty saline characters. A little touch of phenolics bring balance and length to the wine.
The fruit is lightly pressed into stainless steel tanks and allowed to settle for 24 hours. The juice is then racked off its heavy lees to 500 litre French oak puncheons for wild yeast fermentation. Some barrel stirring through fermentation and post fermentation occurs resulting in a wine with complexity and individuality. Bottled after 10 months in oak.
