Vintage 2022
Tasting Notes. Appearance: Pale yellow, with green hints. aroma Intense aromas of stonefruit, green melon and grapefruit with savoury oak. Palate: The palate is rich and powerful with white peach and grapefruit flavours. The use of barrel fermentation and lees stirring have contributed to a textural mouthfeel and complex savoury notes.
Vinification: The grapes for this Chardonnay were sourced from our vineyard in the Broke/Fordwich sub region of the Hunter Valley along with carefully selected parcels. The fruit was harvested in the cool of the early morning to preserve quality and was immediately whole bunch pressed at our Pokolbin winery. The cloudy juice was transferred to French oak barrels and puncheons where fermentation took place. A small portion of the wine also underwent malo-lactic fermentation to add a textural mouth feel. After Fermentation the wine was matured for nine months in oak with fortnightly lees stirring to add complexity before final blending and bottling.
