TREAD SOFTLY CHARDONNAY
Description
Sourced from established vineyards of the rich soils of the border of Victoria and South Australia. The vines are mostly dry-grown and utilise expert canopy management to help control ripening and vigour. Harvested in the cool of the morning to avoid the warmer temperatures of the day. The fruit is quickly delivered to the winery for destemming and crushing prior to a regular fermentation in stainless steel tank. The wine is aerated and temp controlled for an even ferment and then spends 3 months in tank on solids prior to bottling and an early release.
A lighter and moderate but no less varietal rendition of Chardonnay. Light in colour with vital aromas of citrus, nectarine and a hint of integrated oak. It'ss flavoursome and maintains a nicely creamy texture with a refreshing acid finish. Pair with a classic roast chicken stuffed with thyme and garlic.
