Angove Long Row Chardonnay / NV / 187mL

Description:

Winemaking

The grapes for this wine were sourced from Angove’s own Nanya vineyards and premium growers in the region. Soils are predominantly red sandy loam over limestone, on gently undulating east west ridges.

The Vintage was mild, with early rainfall leading to minimal requirement for irrigation, good crops being set and substantial canopies which would be needed to ripen the fruit to perfection. Longer than usual grape maturation resulted in harvest starting in February.

Picked late at night to harvest the grapes as cold as possible the grapes were transported to the winery and pressed using modern membrane tank presses. After cold settling the clear juice was carefully racked to cooled fermentation tanks and inoculated with selected yeasts.

Cool fermentation was followed by minimal handling ? ltration and bottling at the Angove winery.

Winemaker's Notes

Medium straw with brilliant pale gold hues are highlighted in the glass. Aromas of stone fruit, ripe melons and a hint of toasty oak swirl around in a hedonistic display and precede a palate with abundant ripe tropical fruits, some nutty and toasty characters and a long soft ? nish. This wine will cellar well for up to 3 years and is the perfect match to chicken and creamy pasta dishes.
