Description
The Yering Station vineyard consists of five sites across Yarra Glen and Coldstream which are sub-regions of the Yarra Valley. Each vineyard site has subtle changes in soil, aspect and elevation which builds complexity it the wines. The Chardonnay are vinified following a philosophy that the wine should reflect its origins. The grapes were carefully selected and the must was 100% barrel-fermented with selected yeasts and without skin contact. The wine was aged in 500-litre French oak puncheons of which 16% were new, for nine months.
Tasting Notes :
With appearance of bright white gold color, this Chardonnay reveals aromas of ripe white stonefruit with lemon balm and citrus detail, alongside crushed, roasted hazelnuts and integrated oak toast. The palate shows juicy stone fruit, lemon and grapefruit push from the get go with excellent density. There are subtle, complex details of white blossom and nougat. The tannin provides lovely structure and shape with plenty of weight driving through a long, satisfying finish.
