Eightfold Chardonnay 2023
Concentrated and fine with a creamy texture. The vibrant acidity provides excellent structure and balance to the creamy juicy mid palate.
Tasting Notes
COLOUR
Medium straw with a very slight green tinge.
NOSE
Subtle melon, with a complex aroma of cashews and brioche.
PALATE
Lovely, rich, and soft lingering. The mid palate is fruity and creamy with a fresh zesty acidity.
Winemaking
This wine is sourced from the Allan Rock and Wylco vineyards plus a small percentage from the Wills Domain vineyard blocks seven and thirteen. Picked in the cool of the morning, the fruit was gently destemmed and pressed and settled overnight before being racked to barrel and allowed to ferment naturally. The wine remained on lees in a barrel, with minimal batonage for nine months before being racked filtered and bottled. To preserve the mineral limey style of our Eightfold Chardonnay only a small percentage went through malolactic.
Food Pairing
Poached or steamed marron, or in a creamy pasta filled with crayfish, shellfish, salmon, tuna, or cod.
