Made from about one tonne of grapes from
our little Chardonnay patch. The dry grown fruit was allowed to reach full
ripeness before hand picking then chilled to almost freezing. The grapes were
then whole bunch pressed and fermented in stainless steel tank. After settling
the wine was simply filtered and bottled – no oak contact. Straw leaning to
soft gold is the colour in the glass.
There is no hiding the intense fruit shown on the nose whilst on the palate
the wine is fresh with a nicely balanced crisp acidity. Lovely summery peach
flavours dominate, leaving a clean freshness in the mouth. Delicious nicely
chilled on a warm summer afternoon or will well complement a wide range of
Asian dishes.
