The fruit was handpicked, whole bunch pressed, and the unclarified juice was barrel fermented, and stirred regularly over its 9 months maturation in oak, to build palate weight and complexity.
Pristine aromas of citrus and stone fruit mingle with more complex flinty notes from the wild yeast component. The palate really packs a punch with vibrant fruit flavours, some solids complexity, and taut acidity which pushes out the length.
The bouquet is floral and fruit driven with citrus and stone fruit aromas. The palate has rich stone fruit flavours, good texture and a persistent long finish. While this wine has been made for current drinking it will build further complexity over the next 3 to 6 years.
Paringa chardonnay is heading in a good direction. There’s plenty of sunny flavour here but it’s juicy and energetic and, simply, good to drink. Pear, citrus, woodspice and stonefruit flavours do pretty much all of the talking, and while there’s no doubt oak it’s tucked neatly away. Good stuff. It’s perfectly pitched.
