2000 Yering Farm Chardonnay

Tasting Note:
Fresh with leesy characters on the nose, up front fruit flavour and buttery overtones on the palate.

Viticulture:
Grown on Scott Henry trellising for maximum sun exposure, 2000 was a dry vintage which produced good clean fruit. Handpicked in the first week of April.

Winemaking:
The juice was cold stabilised before barrel fermentation in French oak, followed by complete malolactic fermentation at a controlled temperature. Left on lees for 10 months before bottling in January 2001.
