:: salitage - 2006 Unwooded Chardonnay ::
2006
12.9% vol.
750ml.
Harvest
A five clone blend picked between March 28th and April 8th.
Fermentation
Cold settled clarified juice was tank fermented in stainless steel at 15-20°C for fourteen days.
Post fermentation the wine remained on yeast lees for a further month before being prepared for bottling. Part of this included an isinglass fining. The wine was bottled in early July.
Style
Fruit driven, stone fruit and tropical fruit flavours. Full mouth feel with balanced acid and long flavour length.
Tasting Note
Pink grapefruit and peach aromatics. Palate shows strong fruit drive with stonefruit and citrus flavours, some nutty yeast lees character, a richly textured mid palate shows mineral notes and finishes crisply and cleanly.
An excellent example of pure unadulterated Chardonnay fruit.
