Woodlands - Brook Vineyard Chardonnay 2023 750ml
"This Chardonnay is produced from a 7 hectare close-planted plot of selection massale vines on our Woodlands Brook Vineyard.
The fruit was handpicked before being hand sorted and whole-bunch pressed to barrel. Ferments went well with no yeasts added, with some malolactic conversion occurring naturally.
Following ferment our 2023 Woodlands Brook Chardonnay matured in large format French oak - mostly 500L Puncheon barrels and two 1000L Foudres. 53% of vessels were new. The wine matured for a total of 10 months before being filtered and bottle in January 2024.
2023 Woodlands Brook Chardonnay is pale straw in colour. The aroma has a first impression of flint and citrus, with white peach and honeysuckle following. As the wine opens up, more floral aromas appear together with orchard fruit notes. On the palate, a rich and generous entry opens up to ripe rockmelon, white peach, and floral flavours. Some great natural acidity ties the wine together, tailing off with muscular finish." - Woodlands
