Yabby Lake Single Vineyard Chardonnay 2014
12.5
It’s intense and complex with pristine peach and citrus fruit, subtle toasty oak and great depth of flavour, all tightly wrapped up in refined minerality. This is length and poise vinified. It will develop even more if cellared for another 2-3 years. Makes a flawless pair to smoked salmon and feta tartlets.
A fine, pure and intense aroma with classic notes of citrus blossom and grapefruit pith.
100% Chardonnay
The chardonnay was crushed, pressed and transferred with solids, into tight grain 500L French oak puncheons (20% new) to undergo natural fermentation. It was then left to mature on lees for 11 months, without malolatic fermentation proceeding, until bottling in February 2015.
The palate is fine with great depth of flavour. Tightly wound together with a precise minerality, the wine has beautiful length and poise.
Each parcel of chardonnay was carefully handpicked between 27 February and 5 March, in pristine condition. Every parcel was handled separately in the winery, with minimal intervention.
