2022 Chardonnay
Two completely opposite vineyards hand picked on the same day. One in Karridale (Jerusalem) and one in Willyabrup (Grace). Cold pressed at half the pressure of a normal white wine and fermented naturally in French oak (20% new), where the wine went through a partial maloactic fermentation for 10 months in with regular lees stirring to create creaminess and body. The wine was settled in tank, chilled and bottled un-filtered.
A wine of subtle complexity; refined, elegant, and balanced. The more you look the more it gives. Melon, crisp granny smith apple, and a hint of cream. A little bit like a new season apple pie straight out of the oven.
Tasting Notes
The wine is pale straw in colour. Subtle, elegant and delicate on the nose with butterscotch, vanilla, apple and stone fruit aromas. In the mouth, the wine is light and delicate with citrus and apple flavours, a mild creaminess and a long, smooth finish. Balance was what we were looking for with this year’s Chardonnay. Balance of fruit, flavour, acidity, aroma and oak. The wine has layers of flavour almost tell a story. It’s light yet structured, it’s elegant yet complex and has this subtlety but length that lingers on and on. The more you look at it, the more it gives.
