Tasting note
Beautiful Chardonnay, creamy and open, flavoured with white peach and toasted nuts, all the exuberance held in check by fine acidity and pert citrus.
Viticulture
Kooyong vineyard in Mornington Peninsula, Tuerong, on Miocene soils. Wines aim to reveal terroir by blending geology, soils, climate. 2015 Kooyong Clonale Chardonnay blends Tuerong and Balnarring vineyards, 8.1 hectares in total.
Vinification
The grapes are gently whole-bunch pressed directly into French oak barriques (7% new) where fermentation commences spontaneously with ambient yeasts. After fermentation, the wine is aged on lees (without battonage) for 9 months. It is bottled without fining and with minimal filtration.
Food Match
Ceviche of sea bream, coriander, lime, pistachio and chilli dressing
