Middle Earth Chardonnay

Gentle handling, cool ferment and a light hand with oak have once again delivered a poised, feminine Chardonnay. Star bright and pale straw in colour, varietal fruit characters can still be seen in the wine, whilst secondary (ferment and time in oak) characters are subtle on the nose and palate.  It may be the power of suggestion... but we sense characters of fresh almond and citrus fruits as promised by the yeast chosen for ferment.

Medium bodied with a juicy acidity the wine has a finesse that lends it to fly solo as an aperitif, or to suit contemporary bean or nut-based dishes. Alternatively, it would pair beautifully with seafood, cold meats and salad.
