About this product
Pairs well with ChickenYarra Valley, AustraliaVineyard:
Situated at 150m above sea level, planted in the early 1980s. Similar to the Homeblock, the Melba block vines are all cared for by hand, 100% cane pruned to ensure the best quality fruit is grown and hand-harvested.
Winemaking:
100% handpicked on 25 February 2018. Combination of whole bunch and destemming and pressed, with overnight juice settling. Wild yeast fermentation. Matured in a mixture of seasoned French oak barriques (20% new) and 100% malolactic fermentation. Matured on full ferment lees for 9 months. Bottled 6 December 2018. Unfined and unfiltered.
Tasting notes:
The 2018 Chardonnay displays notes of citrus and stone fruit. Not overpowered by oak or malo, this Chardonnay exhibits elegant fruit such as melons, pineapple & citrus. It’s soft and refined, this well-balanced Chardonnay is perfect for all occasions.
