2020 Willow Creek Vineyard Chardonnay
The hand harvested fruit was whole bunch pressed to retain the pristine fruit characters and minimise phenolic extraction. The juice was then transferred to French oak barrels, 20% of which were new, for fermentation and maturation on lees, with monthly stirring, for 10 months prior to bottling in February 2021

Tasting Notes
Colour: Pale straw.
Bouquet: Shows typical citrus aromas, with a hint of savoury struck match and lightly toasted nuts adding complexity to the bouquet.
Palate: Intense lemon and grapefruit pith flavours are complemented by the slightly nutty and creamy mid-palate generosity. Powerfully built but reined in with natural acidity.
