Umamu EstateMargaret River Chardonnay 2008
About this product
Special museum release 2008 vintage. The season provided even and mild ripening conditions. The vineyard provided a delightful balance of flavour, structure and perfume. We managed the VSP canopy to ensure that the fruit was sufficiently exposed while avoiding sunburn.
The grapes were handpicked in the early morning 26th February, then whole bunch pressed and 100% barrel fermented. The wine was then matured for 10 months in a combination of new and old French barrels from a variety of forests to integrate the fruit and oak aromas, flavours and textures in a seamless manner.

Green-yellow; a complex weave of white peach and oak on the bouquet is followed by a nicely balanced and structured palate; doesn't push through on the finish; strange. 14% alc. $50
