notes at bottling This wine was fermented in stainless stell using select yeasts to bring out the freshness of the grape character. The wine was then aged on the lees (the yeast from fermentation) for three months. This nourishes the wine by giving it richness and complexity. The wine offers aromas and flavours of green apple and white peach with a nice core of acidity which balances the creamy richness on the palate. The wine finishes very fresh with some lively citrus notes. Estimated cellaring: 3 to 5 years total production: 250 cases |
This needs until September to shake some aroma dampening bottle shock
but shows a very good core of acidity, with mineral, flinty, dried pear
fruit. Quite firm, steely and dry, with some softening creaminess on the
finish. Very long finish. Oyster wine. David Lawrason, Winery to Home. April 2005 Colour: deeply coloured for a non-oaked Chardonnay Nose: minerally, rather shy on the nose at present Taste: dry, racy, lemony-lime flavour. Good length Drinkability: now Tony Aspler, Winery to Home. April 2005 |
