Levantine Hill Estate Chardonnay
Levantine Hill Estate Chardonnay
Winemaker's Notes: Our house style deliberately eschews the modern trend of taut and fine-boned expressions of Chardonnay, offering a defiant reclamation of the middle ground where body, flavour and palate weight can co-exist with structure, texture and measured acidity.
Nose: Rich, lifted, concentrated, intense. Yellow nectarine, chalk, olive brine, torikawa, nougat, tarragon and galangal with underlying toasty char, mascarpone and pastry complexity.
Palate: Plush silky texture over a medium-tensile acidity line that defines and supports an intensity and heft of boldness and weight. Flavors of fig, Red Delicious apple, fleshy peach, chamomile flowers, banana bread, cinnamon, praline and crème anglaise interplay with tactile calcareousness underpinning a biscuity texture. A lingering resonance of flavor on the long and textural palate.
Wine making: All blocks were hand-picked, sorted and whole bunch pressed. Pressed juice settled overnight then coarsely racked directly to barrel for a mix of wild and inoculated fermentation. Aged on lees in barrel with minimal stirring. Selected barrels underwent 100% malolactic fermentation.
