2009 Kangarilla Road Chardonnay
McLaren Vale experienced cool conditions in December 2008 and most of January 2009 with temperatures only climbing above 30°C (85°F) on three days up until a hot spell in late January. The rest of the 2009 summer was relatively mild allowing the fruit to develop with balanced characters.
Our Chardonnay is a fresh citrus driven style complemented by the light use of oak with 30% of the wine fermented in new French oak Barriques. This wine was matured for around 100 days in oak with daily barrel stirring. The oak component is unobtrusive yet critical to the overall aroma and flavour texture.
