We picked over 3 tons of Chardonnay on the
15th March 2008.
The grapes were transported to Jeff Wright at
Bianchet Winery and we asked him to use two-thirds of the grapes and make us a
true Yarra Valley Style Lightly Oaked Chardonnay. After pressing, the juice was
cold settled and racked before the start of fermentation. The temperature was
closely monitored during the 15-day fermentation period. Post fermentation the
wine was matured in 3-year-old French Oak Barriques (225 litre barrels) and on
the 15th December 2008 was given a light fining and was filtered prior to
bottling. The entire process took place under the watchful care of our team
with many “barrel-tastings” over the 8-month winemaking period.
The wine starts with sliced apple and tropical fruit aromas and has delightful pineapple and butterscotch flavours with a hint of vanilla cream on the finish. The oak is lightly integrated with the fruit making this cool climate Chardonnay an especially good fit with food.
