Chardonnay 2022

Hand picked and whole bunch pressed. The juice was lightly settled overnight and then transferred to a mixture of french oak barriques and puncheons for fermentation 20% of which were new. The wine underwent natural malolactic fermentation in the spring and was racked to tank in February prior to bottling in March.

Tasting Notes: A complex and concentrated chardonnay, this wine has a citrus core with notes of lemon curd and lime complemented with riper fruit notes of nectarine and peach. Layered with hints of toasted oak, vanilla and roasted nuts, the wine has a natural fruit sweetness which balances the acidity and gives a long pure finish.

Food Pairing: Delicious with sauteed wild mushrooms, barbequed whole snapper or chicken and leek pie.
