This Chardonnay opens with a little struck match before apple blossom aromas emerge. There’s citrus zest and sea spray too. The palate is charged with ripe grapefruit, white peach, salted almond with chalky phenolics and a driving saline acidity drawing the wine out long.
Vinification & Elevage: The fruit was crushed and pressed into French oak barriques (10% new) and large foudre for primary fermentation on lees, with 2% going through partial malolactic fermentation. In oak for 9 months before racking and blending for bottling.
Fruit for this Chardonnay comes from two vineyards in Gruyere (I10V5, 76, 96 clones) and one in Yarra Junction (95 clone).
