Peninsula Chardonnay
Current Vintage 2010
Winemaking
The fruit for this
wine was sourced from our four Estate managed vineyards within the Red Hill
sub-region.
The winemaking process for this wine involved chardonnay fruit being whole bunch pressed, clarifying the juice and barrel fermenting in seasoned French Oak (approximately 20% indigenous yeast).
Wine Notes
The fruit driven bouquet displays ripe peach,
melon and mandarin. The palate is fresh, round and generous with melon and
almond milk flavors combining with nutty barrel ferment characters.
