Reserve Chardonnay

2012 Chardonnay
Denmark, Western Australia

Hand-picked at 13.7 Be, the fruit was whole bunch pressed preserving structure and acidity. Free run juice to 1st and 2nd year oak barrels with pressings kept separate and going into stainless steel vessels. A combination of Burgundian yeast and natural yeasts enhances complexity. Partial malolactic fermentation (15%) preserves complexity and natural acidity resulting in flavours of ripe fig and white peach. A wine that exhibits a rich and textural mid-palate. The wine has 10 -15 years cellaring potential.
