2013 Moorooduc Estate Chardonnay

The fruit for this Chardonnay is sourced from Moorooduc Estate’s McIntyre and Robinson vineyards. The juice is whole bunch pressed and is fermented using 100% indigenous yeast in French oak barrels (25% new) with 100% malolactic ferment in barrel. The wine is then aged for 10 months on lees with only 1 racking.

Brilliant pale straw colour with greenish highlights around the edges and a watery hue. Showing good intensity the nose features aromatics of white peaches, pear and subtle grapefruit overlaid by cashew, faint nougat and gun flint. Medium weight the palate boasts superb richness and a full creamy textural feel. Mouthfilling flavours of ripe white peaches, dried honey and cashew overlay some biscuity oak, light nougat and spice. Clean dry finish. Long aftertaste of ripe white peaches intermixed with dried honey, spicy cashew and biscuity oak.
Drink over the next 4-5 years.
