2018 ‘Queen of Hearts’ Chardonnay

Composition
100% Chardonnay

Tasting Note
Aromas of nectarine, pear, orange blossom and cedar. It has a rich and textural palate showcasing an abundance of stone fruits, marzipan and spice. Great complexity, good acid and perfectly balanced. You won’t want to stop drinking this wine!

Winemaking
The chardonnay grapes were hand picked and sorted before being whole-bunch pressed and barrel fermented using 100% wild yeast. The wild yeast fermentation adds to the wines mouth-feel and gives great complexity and texture. The chardonnay underwent 100% wild malolactic fermentation. Maturation in French oak, 63% new, for 11 months.
