Margaret River, Western Australia. The Gin Gin clone Chardonnay was hand-picked and whole bunch pressed followed by 100% natural fermentation in select French oak barriques (approx.35% new oak). Barrels were lees stirred regularly throughout a nine-month oak maturation period, without any malolactic fermentation. The best barrels were selected for the final blend.
Colour: Pale straw.
Bouquet: The bouquet of this elegant Chardonnay.
displays white peach and pear characters with underlying hints of grapefruit and nougat.
Palate: The tightly coiled palate is medium bodied offering white fleshed nectarine and zesty
preserved lemon flavours. The purity of fruit shines through, along with texture derived from lees stirring. The characteristic ‘Stevens Road minerality’ adds a subtle quartz and oyster-shell detail to the wine. The delicate fruit and layers of complexity of this fine boned wine are augmented with a bright acidity and combine together to focus on a crisp, lingering fruit finish.
