Deakin Estate Chardonnay 2009
|
| |
|
|
Region: The fruit for this wine was harvested from our Deakin Estate vineyards in the Murray Darling region,
North West Victoria.
Harvest Date: Late January to mid February.
Grape Variety: Chardonnay
Vinification: Parcels of fruit destined for the Deakin Estate 2009 Chardonnay are kept separate during a cool fermentation that maximises the fruit character. A number of different yeast strains are used, with a very small portion being barrel fermented to add complexity to the wine. Ferments are left on yeast lees and periodically stirred, helping to contribute to a creamier mouth feel. Only the best of the resultant batches make it through to the final Deakin Estate blend.
Colour: Pale straw yellow.
Nose: Pear, quince and custard apple with the slightest hint of subtle and interesting oak characters.
Palate: Rich and smooth with ripe fruit-salad flavours. A delicious Chardonnay that delivers on flavour without being over-the-top.
Cellaring Potential: Best enjoyed young. Serve chilled.
Ideal Food Matches: Warm Cajun chicken salad, grilled barramundi, creamy pasta dishes such as fettuccini carbonara, or lightly spiced Thai dishes would all suit this wine very well. A versatile wine for any meal.
