Winemaker: David Tierney Suggested food: Chicken and mushroom risotto Cellaring: Drinking very well now and can be cellared for up to three years. Viticulture: Cool to mild weather leading up to the 2002 vintage produced ideal ripening conditions. 100% Chardonnay fruit was sourced from a range of vineyard sites in the premium wine growing regions of South Eastern Australia. Vinification: Following crushing, the wine was cool fermented to retain the fresh fruit flavours. Traditional winemaking techniques including stirring on yeast lees and malolactic fermentation were used on small parcels to further enhance these flavours and add a greater complexity and creamy mouthfeel. The wine was oak matured in American oak for a short time to complete the palate weight and mouthfeel. (12 x 75 cl)
