2012 Pirramimma French Oak Chardonnay

 

Winemaker’s Notes

For this vintage we selected fruit from 4 separate

vineyards situated on McMurtrie Rd, Bellevue Rd

and Johnston Rd, each block with their own

distinctive terrior. The parcels were picked at

different baume levels, thus providing complexity

in the final blend.

 

A portion of each vineyard was barrel fermented

in new Tonnellerie Quintessence French oak, using

eight different yeast strains, including Wild Yeast.

The complex nose displays nutty, smoky oak,

melon, peach and citrus aromas, with a hint of

apple.

 

With the palate delivering rich peacharine,

butterscotch, smoky almond, rock melon, tinges of

Mandarin and cashew.

 

A multifaceted wine with fruit, oak and natural

acidity in harmony, finishing with great length of

flavour.

 

Approachable now or will reward short term

cellaring.
