Windy Peak Chardonnay 2016

ML-750

Region Yarra Valley.

Appearance- Medium straw colour with green edges.

Bouquet- Elegant lively florals, white flowers and nuance of nougat.

Palate- Brioche-like fruit with hazelnut and white peach. Soft creamy flavours with balanced acidity and texture.

Vintage Conditions- 2012 was a very good growing season, similar to 2006. It showed cool conditions, good fruit maturity, high natural acidity and a relaxed period during picking. The wines have an abundance of flavour quite early and will also mature well.

Winemaking- Fruit for this blend is grown mainly in the Dixons Creek, Tarrawarra and Yarra Glen sections with a small amount of upper Yarra fruit. The grapes are machine harvested in the cool of night, crushed and pressed to extract some good phenolics for texture and minerality. The juice is fermented in a combination of cask and tank. The lees are stirred regularly until spring for complexity and creaminess.

Wine Analysis Alc/Vol: 12.5% pH: 3.25 TA: 6.5g/L

Cellaring- Enjoy now or cellar up to five years.

Suggested Cuisine- Fried or grilled whiting fillets.

General Characteristics- Dry / Medium Bodied
