2023 Reserve Chardonnay

2023 Reserve Chardonnay

The Reserve range continues to be the best of what we are able to produce in a given vintage. Our 12th consecutive release of our Reserve Chardonnay, 100% of the fruit for this wine is from our oldest Chardonnay vineyard, the Lagan Estate. The low yielding vineyard produces bunches with characteristic 'hen and chicken' architecture typical of the Gingin clone. Natural fermentation on fruit is encouraged to further emphasise the personality of this wonderful site, resulting in a medium bodied Chardonnay offering pear puree, zesty grapefruit flavours and a quartz-like, almost crystalline, mineral edge to the structure.

Tasting Notes

Colour:Pale-straw, with green tinges.
Nose:The bouquet of this elegant, yet powerful Chardonnay displays fresh pear and limey characters with underlying hints of wet stone and frangipani adding complexity.
Palate:The sophisticated palate is medium bodied with a wonderful purity of fruit, offering pear puree, zesty grapefruit flavours and a quartz-like, almost crystalline, mineral edge to the structure. Pristine with latent fruit power and tangy natural acidity focus the wine to a crisp, lingering finish.

Viticulture

Varietal:Chardonnay
Vintage:2023
Region:Margaret River
Conditions:A cold winter with reasonable rainfall led to late budburst, and a cool wet spring allowed extended flowering leading to good fruit-set resulting in yields higher than average. A lack of Marri blossom leading up to and during harvest which meant that bird pressure was extreme. In summary 2023 was an excellent vintage.

Winemaking

Alcohol:13%
Bottle Size:750ml
pH:3.01
Winemaking Notes:Fruit was hand-picked and whole bunch pressed followed by 100% barrel fermentation in select French oak (20% new oak). Fermentation was allowed to occur naturally, with the wild yeasts. Barrels were lees stirred throughout a nine-month oak maturation period, without any malolactic fermentation. Only the best barrels were selected for the final blend. This wine is made from qualifying grapes at a winery certified by Sustainable Winegrowing Australia.
