Centennial

Reserve Chardonnay

Centennial's Reserve Chardonnay was grown at Bantry Grove vineyard, Orange at 900 metres above sea level. The growing season was warmer than average allowing us to fully ripen the Chardonnay grapes to create a rich, complex, age-worthy style. Partial wild and malolactic fermentation in top quality French oak with regular battonage (lees stirring) has added complex nutty characters to the peach/nectarine fruit flavours.The palate has richness of flavour, fantastic texture, with beautiful peach/nectarine flavours. A full, rich, and complex Chardonnay style that partners well with stronger flavoured foods such as coq au vin, roast chicken and veal.
