Masters Series Chardonnay 2019
Masters Series Chardonnay 2019
Vintage 2019 saw low yields due to the previous seaons dry conditions, however good rainfall in June and August followed by a mild autumn resulted in good flavour and colour development.
A masterfully crafted luxurious and opulent wine that shows sophistication and elegance, which has been achieved through minimal intervention in the winemaking process. Carefully hand harvested, the fruit was whole bunch pressed and fermented using wild yeast to assist with textural complexity. The wine was then matured in French oak puncheons for 8 months of which 50% was new. This special wine is only released in high quality vintages and is always bottled in tiny volumes.
