2023 Chardonnay Dozen - Warramate
Medal One
Medal Two
Lemon verbena and ripe stone fruits, a richly textured and soft palate with a salty sea spray freshness. Whispers of oak barrels in the form of roasted cashew nuts. A long palate with texture from barrel fermentation yet ultimately a refreshing wine.
Reviews
Winemaking
Whole bunch pressed to extract the purest Chardonnay juice but including the hard pressings for weight and texture. Fermentation on some light solids which lend weight, texture and ultimately complexity. Only French oak is used with 10% new, the balance a mixture of older barrels, maturation time 9 months before bottling in November.
