DESCRIPTION
This limited-release Chardonnay does not grown on trees (or on the vines in this case). It is matured for six-and-a-half years and inspired by the 'sous voile' methods of France's Jura and Burgundy regions, whereby fresh white wine is periodically fed to the filled barrels. The bouquet is bustling with notes of honey, toffee apple and whiskey. Meanwhile, the palate's foundation is layered with the trademark citrus flavours of this variety, but packs a yummy punch of smoke, curry leaf, sea salt, and grilled nuts to boot. Rich and focused, this Chardonnay finishes up with a tight, clean finish.
REGION
McLaren Vale
Australia
The McLaren Vale wine region, just south of Adelaide, is highly regarded in Australia and around the world. Shiraz tops the list of the region's award winning wines, making McLaren Vale a favourite place to grow this grape. Cabernet Sauvignon is another key variety, along with Grenache and Mourvèdre, which together with Shiraz make some of the most acclaimed GSM blends in the region. Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc lead the white grapes of McLaren Vale, with a wealth of other regional and international specialities such as Merlot, Zinfandel, Tempranillo, Sangiovese and Viognier also making their mark.
Recommended for you:
This Chardonnay has an interesting approach. Intense and profound with ripe fruit aromas and a touch of spice.
