A very refreshing change... Awarded a SILVER medal at the International Wine Challenge 2011 VINEYARD 83% of the fruit came from vineyards in the Yarra Valley, Sexton and Tarraford vineyards. The remaining 17% came from the Quarry Ridge and Kilmore vineyards in Port Philip. Harvest took place in mid to late February when the fruit was fully ripe with good acidity and fresh fruit flavours. GRAPE VARIETIES 100% Chardonnay VINIFICATION Above average spring rains mixed with cool, sunny days allowed for an even budburst and early uniform flowering. Warm summer days interspersed with mild rain harnessed delicate flavours at low sugars and crisp acid. Careful handling was essential in the vineyard and winery to capture optimum ripeness and quality. Harvest was from late February to early March 2010. Fruit was whole bunch pressed to tank and transferred to barrel after eight hours settling. Cultured yeast and a small parcel of indigenous yeasts were used. Barrel fermented at 20 . 24°C. The wine was lees stirred weekly, then monthly after May. 10% malolactic fermentation took place due to higher than usual malic acid levels. The wine was aged in 100% oak for 9 months, with mixture of 1,2 and 3 year old French barriques TASTING NOTE Lemon zest, cashews, freshly picked white nectarines and river stones on the nose. The palate has granny smith apples and green pineapple; bright crunchy acidity with some savoury hints.
