Mountadam High Eden Chardonnay 2015
14.0
From one of the best Chardonnay producers in the country, this white is a stellar example of Mountadam’s handiwork. Classic Chardonnay fruit aromas of peach, nectarine and ripe figs fuse with oaky spice, grilled cashew, clove and nutmeg, all spinning around a green apple and citrus core. With great depth of flavour and length, this stylish wine has the potential to age for at least 10 years.
Ripe peach, meyer lemons and quince fruits. Lifted aromas of hazelnut, cinnamon and cream. The wine also has an underlying aroma of white truffle.
100% Chardonnay
In November 2015, the wines were racked and returned to the same oak for further maturation. The wine underwent barrel maturation for a total of fifteen months.
The palate has well balanced flavours of peach, meyer lemon, toasted almond, hazelnut and cinnamon. The wine has a tight acid line and integrated oak tannins which provide structure and length. The wine has excellent length and long persistence. The palate is left with meyer lemon and hazelnut flavours long after the wine has left the mouth.
The fruit was gently pressed and the free run portion collected and settled. The juice was racked and filled to new French oak barriques for fermentation. Once fermentation ceased the barrels were topped and stirred regularly for eight months. During this time the wine went through natural malolactic fermentation.
