Tasting Notes
The wine has a bright mid-gold appearance with a complex bouquet of ripe citrus, oatmeal and a little butterscotch. The palate is soft and full with fine texture and long finish.

Viticulture
The vines were trained to four canes on a Vertical Shoot Positioned trellis. Balance shoot thinning, leaf plucking and trimming and tucking were carried out to maintain a healthy canopy and ripening conditions. The vintage was characterised by a cool, wet spring and early summer, followed by a moderately warm and dry ripening period. This gave average yields but intensely flavoured fruit. Picking was carried out in early April.

Winemaking
The fruit was machine harvested on flavour criteria in cool evening conditions, destemmed and lightly pressed with minimal skin contact. The free run juice was lightly settled and the juice fermented in stainless steel with selected yeast strains to aid mouthfeel and texture. The wine underwent 100% malolactic fermentation in tank.

Food Matching
Our chardonnay is a great partner for pasta and pizza dishes, tapas and poultry dishes.
