Ancre Hill Vineyard Chardonnay 2023
Light lemon and ripe green apple, hints of honeysuckle & vanilla
Cleverly balancing delicateness with power, the aromas and flavours are of light lemon and ripe green apple, displaying hints of honeysuckle and vanilla. Typically a mixture of skin maceration and whole bunch pressing, the grapes were fermented in stainless steel and Austrian oak barrel. The wine experienced long elevage on gross lees with natural MLF, no filtration or fining.
