About this product
Dry, Medium Bodied style of ChardonnayMornington Peninsula, AustraliaHand harvested grapes are whole bunch pressed directly to French oak barriques (one third new). A considered amount of suspended solids is maintained in the ferment. Following wild fermentation, natural malolactic fermentation is allowed to proceed which in turn brings the natural acidity back into check and the wine is then left to mature on lees, which are stirred, as required, following appraisal. The wine is aged for 11 months in oak prior to blending and bottling.

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.

Decidedly complex, but lacks length and persistence. Surprise.
