2024 Chardonnay

White peach, nectarine & grapefruit

My favoured style where the fruit is dominant, displaying the pure flavours we can achieve with chardonnay fruit grown in the Rutherglen wine region. 

Initially fermented temperature in controlled this stainless steel tanks, portions of wine fermentation completed and were subsequently aged in French oak puncheons before back blending prior to bottling.

The aroma carries through to the palate with rich fruit characters of nectarine, grapefruit and white peach upon entry. The zesty mid palate is offset with balanced fresh oak char and almond meal.
Fruit driven and focused, the finish is long and clean.

Alcohol: 13.3%

Aroma: Ripe white peaches and nectarine with a lightly toasted oak lift.

Appearance: Brilliant clarity, pale yellow with youthful green tints.

Cellaring: Enjoy now or over the coming three years.

Serving Suggestions: A lovely fruit driven Rutherglen Chardonnay, with typically ripe stonefruit flavour and varietal definition. Enjoy with smoked salmon and goats cheese tart or seafood linguine.
