2008 Red Claw Mornington Peninsula Chardonnay
Personality
The Thinker... Our chardonnay is a serious yet charming soul. Bright, fresh and with loads of class – you can take this wine anywhere.
Behind the Scenes
Fruit from the Yabby Lake Estate Vineyards, hand harvested
Gently whole bunch pressed in small batches 100% barrel fermented in French oak of Vosges and Allier (20% new)
Aged on yeast lees for 10 months and then assembled and bottled in December 2008.
The Result
Bright intense pale straw color with green tinges. The aromas are lifted along with clean citrus notes, melon and a hint of spicy French oak. The palate leads off with beautifully textured and rounded fruit intertwined with the natural acidity that runs through the mouth binding the wine and leading into a lovely long complex finish.
