2021 Yarra Yering Chardonnay

– Available of Allocation Only –

Maximum two bottles per customer | Must be purchased with at least two other bottles of Yarra Yering wine; excluding the Pinot Noir

Hand harvested grapes placed in a chiller overnight before whole bunch pressing which gives very high quality juice. Fermentation in French oak barrels; a combination of 228 L barriques and some 500 L puncheons, 30% new oak. Both wild yeasts and cultured yeast were allowed to carry out the fermentation offering complexity and a hint of wet stone.

Natural acidity was retained by inhibiting malolactic fermentation. Maturation for 10 months in a cool underground cellar before blending and bottling.

Cellaring shy as a youngster, a few years in bottle will build weight with careful cellaring for up to 10 years.

Tasting Note: Experience the perfect balance of finesse and texture in our Chardonnay. With a subtle green apple crunch and a silky smooth mouthfeel, this wine energizes the palate with its pithy notes. The finish is long-lasting, thanks to the support of an extremely fine oak tannin structure. 

Origin: Yarra Valley, Australia
