2007 Paringa Estate Chardonnay

The fruit for this Chardonnay is destemmed and gently airbag pressed to obtain the highest quality free-run juice which is then barrel fermented in new and one year old Vosges and Allier French Oak barriques. Approximately 15% of this wine has been wild yeast fermented and also underwent malolactic fermentation.

Bright straw pale gold colour with pale straw hue. The nose displays lifted aromas of white peach, cashew, nougat and light butterscotch followed by a hint of spice. The palate displays excellent body weight with concentrated flavours of white peach, spice, nougat and cashew with some spicy characters persisting on the back palate. Creamy texture with aftertaste of spice, nougat and white peach.
