Wine Information
The Vintage:
As spring and the early part of summer were quite dry and warmer, the resulting wine has fruit with a great flavour and acidity, needing little to encourage it into a great wine.
The Winemaking:
Fruit was hand picked and pressed directly to new and 1 year old, French oak. It was in French oak for little over 6 months. Before finishing in steel tank.
The Wine:
This 2011 Chardonnay is a very clean, pale lemon wine, the nose hints of its nutty goodness. Slight oaky characteristics allow for the many layers of this wine. The flinty, gun-smoke aromas, balanced with the distinctive minerality and flavours of citrus, river pebbles provide the very long finish to this wine. The clean, ripe fruit offers great balance and restraint.
Drink With:
White Wine Coq Au Vin
