Chardonnay 2006  RRP $25.00 a bottle

Light straw green, this wine has  a very fine, clean minerally palate. The layers of  melon fig & stone fruit are balanced with subtle barrell ferment characters of biscuit, cashew & lees inputs with spicy notes.

25% new French oak was used with second & third use barrells giving the oak a supporting role rather than a dominating one. Malolactic fermentation was kept to 40% to retain a clean, crisp, non fatty mouthfeel.

The intensity of the wine picks up on the finish with a very long aftertaste. This wine will develop with further cellaring
