Village Chardonnay

This wine can be enjoyed on its own or will be a great match with a creamy seafood pasta, fresh line fish or a roasted chicken dish.

A portion of the wine remained on the lees for 3 months and the rest for 6 months, ensuring the wine gains complexity. After tasting and blending trials, the wine was blended, stabilised, and prepared for bottling.

This wine is a blend of several components of Chardonnay grapes from our Estate. This wine was partially tank fermented (unoaked), fermented in 2500 l oak vats and a portion of older small oak barrels. The tank fermented and large oak vat components were inoculated with selected strains of Burgundian yeast, while the wines fermented in small oak barrels were not inoculated and fermentation occurred naturally.
