Fruit Source

From select grower vineyards in Pemberton, Western Australia.

Blend

Chardonnay 70%, Verdelho 30%.

Harvest

Verdelho on March 31st, Chardonnay between March 31st and April 17th.

Fermentation

Cold settled clarified juice was tank fermented in stainless steel at 15-20°C for fourteen days. Post fermentation the wine was blended and then remained on yeast lees for a further month before being prepared for bottling in early July.

Tasting Note

Stonefruit aromas of peach and nectarine with subtle mineral nuances. The palate shows rich fruit with good texture supported by balanced acidity leading to a clean lingering fruit and mineral finish. Suited to early consumption. Serve lightly chilled.
The Treehouse range has been developed to allow us to explore some of the alternative varieties that are being grown in the Pemberton wine region of Western Australia, but not necessarily grown on the Salitage Estate.
