About this product
Dry, Medium Bodied style of ChardonnayMornington Peninsula, AustraliaThe McCutcheon Chardonnay is easily the most robust of all the single vineyard Chardonnay releases, with a depth and intensity that marks it apart from the other wines. Easily my favourite of the 2015 wines, with a very convincing depth. One of the few single vineyard Chardonnay releases to have completed malolactic fermentation; this has more richness, more fruit power and a very long finish, the vanilla bean and custard creamy flavour intensity compelling with its length and impact.

Medium bodied white wines have a lightly textured mouthfeel with moderate flavour impact. Often pale lemon coloured to pale gold.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Not the usual distinctive differences between the single-site wines this vintage. There’s some texture, a suppleness across the palate, but overall, lacking fruit weight and flavour. It’s best not to chill this or any of the single-site chardonnays too much; I managed to tease more from them as they warmed up, relatively speaking, of course.
