2017 White Label Chardonnay

2017 White Label Shiraz

About

PROFILE

This wine has a lovely balance of complex savoury characteristics from the natural fermentation on full solids. The oak sits softly around the core fruit profile of white stonefruits and grapefruit. High natural acidity contributes line and length and excellent age ability.

VINEYARD

Saxonvale Vineyard
Broke, Fordwich

VINTAGE

The 2017 vintage was hot and dry and produced
outstanding quality fruit from all varieties, but especially chardonnay.

FERMENTATION & ÉLEVAGE

This wine was fermented in 500 litre French puncheon barrels using
high solids, natural yeasts and a moderated ferment temperature to
achieve complex savoury aromatics. Post ferment, lees contact and
batonage is used to create mid palate weight and texture. High acidity
gives this wine balance and a long finish, as well as contributing to the
cellaring potential of the wine.
