2020 Rosabrook Single Vineyard Estate Chardonnay

Tasting Notes

WINEMAKER’S NOTE: Pale straw green in colour showing complex bouquet of intense citrus, roasted cashew and flinty notes. The palate is fine and creamy with a long crisp finish.

VINTAGE CONDITIONS: The 2020 growing season was characterised by a moderate spring followed by a dry and warm summer. These conditions made for one of the earliest vintages in recent years. An excellent vintage for Margaret River Chardonnay.

VINEYARDS: The fruit for this wine was sourced from a single vineyard site from the southern area of Margaret River.

VINIFICATION: Hand-picked grapes were chilled overnight and whole bunch pressed. The juiced was fermented with wild yeast in a combination of 40% new and 60% seasoned French oak barriques where it remained on fine lees for eight months, then carefully clarified and bottled.
