2008 Shadowfax Chardonnay

The majority of fruit for this wine was sourced from Geelong and the Macedon ranges. All the fruit was handpicked and whole bunch pressed, before being transferred to French barriques and hogsheads (15% new) for fermentation and maturation.

A very well made Burgundian inspired Chardonnay. Pale straw colour with greenish tinge and pale straw hue. The nose displays good complexity with aromas of cashew, cinnamon, lees and toast, followed by some spice and honeycomb end notes. Medium weight palate with flavours of white peach, lees, biscuit, cashew and spice, with some bacon fat characters on the back palate. Creamy texture with a clean dry finish. Long aftertaste of biscuit, lees and bacon fat.
