Woods Crampton - Black Label Chardonnay 2023 750ml

"From a single vineyard at Foreston, which is in the northern reaches of the Adelaide Hills, this was 100% whole bunch pressed and wild fermented in older barrels with maturation in French oak hogsheads for seven months, 40% of them new. 70% of the wine underwent malolactic fermentation. Just 364 dozen produced. A lovely golden hue here, the nose is most attractive with aromas of cashews, stone fruits, peaches and mandarins. The wine is nicely balanced, full of flavour, and has more than decent length. Quite a chewy style of Chardonnay with good concentration throughout, the intensity never wavers. Best enjoyed over the next two to three years. Drink by: 2026-2029. 92 points." - Winepilot (Ray Jordan)

"High altitude low yielding vineyards. Full rich creamy complex. Hand picked, whole bunch natural ferment. Four months lees stirring. Seventy percent malolactic. Seven months in French oak. Forty percent new

Minimal sulphur, bottled without fining and minimal filtration. 374 cases made. Deepest appreciation to the Sons of Eden crew." - Aaron Woods & Nicholas Crampton
