A fresh cool climate Chardonnay, this wine pulls together quenching citrus flavours and delicate French oak. The bouquet is filled with aromas of grapefruit, pineapple and white rose which carry to the palate along with nuances of lemon slice and sachet. The wine finishes soft and creamy with lingering notes of zest and vanillin.
In the vineyard a warm, dry summer provided a disease free growing season with great rising conditions across all regions. Yields were quite low with early season frost damage and despite some hot days, heat waves didn’t play a significant rolled. High quality wines with ripe fruit flavours and fresh acidity are the result.
Harvest timing in our Padthaway vineyards was determined by flavour development along with sugar and acid levels in achieving a great quality Chardonnay. Harvest took place in the cool of the night with fruit being processed immediately in retaining fresh fruit flavours and minimising oxidation. Fruit was destemmed and chilled to bag press wherein underwent a gentle press cycle with insert gas coverage. The resultant juice was lightly clarified and transported cool to our Yenda base winery. A slow fermentation followed at cool temperatures of 14 -16C using carefully selected yeast in optimising varietal expression. After an extended period of 3 months on test lees and highly toasted premium French staves the wine was blended and filtered.
