VINTAGE
Hot, warm conditions compared to previous vintages saw harvest commence in early January. This resulted in optimum fruit ripeness of excellent quality from well-managed blocks in the south west.
REGION
Geographe, Ferguson Valley
52 Stones Vineyard
VARIETAL
100% Chardonnay
TECHNICAL DATA
Alcohol: 14.5%
pH: 3.4
Titratable Acidity: 7.5
CELLARING
7-10 years
WINEMAKING NOTES
The fruit was hand-picked and whole-bunch pressed directly to 100% brand new French oak where it was allowed a natural ferment. Barrel stirring was undertaken weekly and the wine underwent a full malolactic fermentation. It was rested for nine months in French oak.
TASTING NOTES
Pale straw, green edges in color, on the nose expect a fresh bouquet of apricot, vanilla pod, honeydew melon, pear tart and puff pastry. The palate is rich and full-bodied with yellow tart peach, vanilla, almond nougat and honeysuckle characters with a soft finish.
