Conquest McLaren Vale Chardonnay 2022

Medium Straw in colour. White peach typical of McLaren Vale Chardonnay with citrus and melon. Lovely length and structure with flavours of white peach, citrus, melon and oak all play a pivotal role to the balance achieved. This wine is a great example of a fresh flavoursome McLaren Vale Chardonnay with little influence from the winemaker, which allows the talent of the grower to shine, as the vineyard is where truly great wines are made.

Winemaking

The grapes were delivered to the winery and de-stemmed before being soft pressed. The pressing were kept separate and after cold settling and clarification the juice undertook a cool fermentation. Make to drink upon release while the fruit flavour is at its most fresh and vibrant although will develop more complexity over the short term.

Cellaring
