2006
Vintage
2006 was an excellent harvest for quality with good fruit set, clean weather during the
grape’s development and a cooler spell in March / April to afford generous flavour
expression.
Winemaking
The 2006 chardonnay grapes were harvested in the cool of the morning to maximise fruit
quality. Separate batches were fermented in stainless steel tanks and French oak
barriques. The wine stored in barrels was stirred on lees for six months to maximise
mouthfeel and oak integration. All components were blended prior to bottling.
Colour
Pale gold with a lemon hue.
Bouquet
Aromas of spiced pear and honeydew melon.
Palate
Medium bodied pear fruit flavours with a zesty lime finish.
Suggested Food
Creamy mushroom risotto or lightly flavoured chicken dish.
Cellaring
A ready to drink wine, enjoy whilst young and fresh.
