Shelmerdine Chardonnay
Product Code: 94100

The Yarra Valley has long been home to some of the finest Chardonnays in Australia and this elegant, finely crafted example is no exception. Made in a traditional hands-off Burgundian fashion (i.e. barrel fermented and aged on lees) this wine marries fruit purity and oak-induced complexity.
Tasting Notes : On the nose there are hints of white peach and apricot kernel coupled with subtle, toasty, oak driven notes. The palate is full and complex yet also restrained and balanced so as not to overpower. The creamy texture of the wine is tempered with a crisp, minerally finish.
Producer : Shelmerdine Estate
Method of Production : Handpicked grapes from the Shelmerdine's Lusatia Park vineyard were chilled, whole bunched pressed and the juice cold settled prior to being fermented in French oak barrels, 25% of which were new. Malolactic conversion was encouraged, and the wine was aged on its lees, still in barrel, for ten months, after which it was fined, filtered and bottled.
