2023 Goundrey Homestead Chardonnay

Pale straw gold with bright green hues, the wine displays a delicate mix of sweet yellow peach, citrus flower and spiced pear. Juicy fleshed primary flavours of fresh peach and white nectarine, balanced with fine bright acid to give poise and balance. A fresh, youthful and un-oaked modern style of chardonnay. Lifted aromas of stone fruit and citrus blossom carry from the glass. The generous flavours of nectarine and melon, balanced with fresh acidity, provide a vibrantly crisp and long lasting finish.

The juices were reductively handled to retain freshness and vibrancy and to ensure juice quality was maximized. Once pressed the juices were held cold to allow settling. They were then fermented at cool temperatures. This allowed both freshness to be retained and subtle palate texture to evolve through fermentation. The wines were held on lees for a minimal time to enhance palate weight and texture.
