2024 by Wilimee Chardonnay (Macedon Ranges)
100 dozen made. (photo coming soon.)
This Chardonnay comes from a vineyard 20km to the west of us. The vines are over 30yrs old and the fruit was picked later/riper than our Wilimee vines. Chardonnay was wild fermented in barriques, 20% new, with full malo. Recently bottled with 10 months of barrel ageing, this Chardonnay is quite different in style to Wilimee.
Winemaking Notes.
Whole bunch pressed direct to barriques, 20% new French oak
Natural ferment in barrels
Malolactic ferment finished near Christmas.
Matured for 11 months in oak prior to bottling.
No fining or stabilisation, however lightly filtered prior to bottling. Vegan Friendly.
Tasting Notes:
by Wilimee Chardonnay displays generous white & yellow stone fruits with a touch of lemon zest. Its opulent and open knitted, easy drinking and enjoyed with roast chicken and pasta.
