Chardonnay 2019
A citrine coloured gem with a rich nose of toasted praline, and on the palate you’ll find notes of lemon-curd pastry, juicy grilled pineapple, and hints of clove. The texture is thick and silky with a dry, lingering finish – and at 14 months in 40% new oak you might expect it to be a bit heavy, but the cooler climate sites these grapes came from contribute bright acidity that really balances this beauty out.
Around 60% was wild-fermented using only native yeasts found in the air and on the grapes themselves, while the rest received a specific French strain of yeast that seems to really excite our winemaker...
