Castle Rock Estate is nestled on the eastern slopes of the Porongurup mountain range and is named after a prominent nearby landmark. The vineyard has a cool and elevated northerly aspect, resulting in intensely flavoured wines.
10
A cool climate and complex Chardonnay, which has been barrel fermented in French oak, 40% of which was new. Complexity was enhanced by natural ferment, high juice solids during fermentation and leaving the wine on yeast lees in barrel for 10 months
Tasting Notes
Colour: Straw coloured.
Bouquet: An extremely complex and layered chardonnay, exhibiting cool climate fruit characters of citrus, and nectarine. The French oak is harmoniously integrated into the mealy and struck match complexing characters.
Palate: A wine of wonderfully poise and just sings on the palate. It is fresh and vibrant with great complexity and richness. The citrus and nectarine fruits flow into textured and layered mid palate, of crème brulee and mealy notes. The French oak is subtle in the background; the palate is held beautifully together and structured by seamless natural acidity. The complex flavours linger thanks to a long, fine, citrus finish.
food accompaniment
