Rochford Estate Isabella's Chardonnay Single Vineyard 2019
Winemaking Notes: Harvest: Hand-picked on the 21st of February.
Vinification & Elevage: Fruit is whole bunch pressed with full juice solids to mix of French Oak barriques and puncheons (30% new) for fermentation. Wine is sulphured without any malolactic conversion or further lees stirring. 10 months on lees in oak.
Viticultural Notes: The fruit for this single vineyard Chardonnay is grown on our Isabella's vineyard on Briarty Road vineyard in Gruyere. Optimal conditions for both flowering and fruitset in the vineyards gave well balanced yields with plenty of promise leading into the 2019 harvest. A dry January and February followed, culminating in a relatively compressed vintage, though attention to detail in the vineyards gave winemakers wonderfully balanced fruit with concentration of flavour and exceptional natural acidity.
