Description
This wine offers purity of flavor with yellow stone fruit and citrus, with a typical nutty note adding to the multi-layered structure of a classic Chardonnay with zest and freshness on the palate to a long, cool finish.
Winemaker’s notes:
This Reserve Chardonnay has a complex character with a pale straw colour. On the nose, notes of barrel fermentation, vanilla and creme caramel come forward, integrating gently with aromas of tropical exotic fruit. The mouth feel is rich and buttery, ending in a wine with beautiful extraction of fruit and elegant acidity that brightens the palate.
Oenology:
The grapes were handpicked at optimum phenolic ripeness. Crushed and de-stemmed. Pressed and pumped into new 500L French Oak barrels for alcoholic fermentation in the barrels.
Maturation:
10 months, oak maturation in 1st and 2nd filled 500L French Oak. The wine was aged sur lie (on the lees) and stirred up to enhance mouth feel and concentration.
Food suggestions:
Cream-based pasta dishes, crayfish and lemon butter prawns.
