| Vintage Notes: |
2006 was quite early for us - we started harvesting on Valentine's Day (very romantic!). Weather conditions were perfect, Daytime temperatures ranged from 13°C to 30°C, with whites harvested in the cool of the morning. |
| Winemaking Notes: |
Harvested at night to maximise flavour and avoid oxidation. This chardonnay received minimal handling and stabilization prior to bottling. Minimal oak was used to highlight the fruit.
The end result is a rich, clean wine with vibrant fruit. We've deliberately avoided the over-thetop, oaky wines that are sometimes seen on the chardonnay circuit. |
