Tasting Notes:

Pale straw with green hues - Tumblong Hills Chardonnay is lively with citrus aromas hinting at mature lime and grapefruit.

The palate is driven by a beautiful fresh acidity and delivers a texture driven very persistent finish.

Over the next 24 months will develop into an outstanding example of Tumbarumba Chardonnay.

About the vineyard & winemaking:

Grown in the Maragle Valley deep in the NSW Snowy Mountains, south-east of the township of Tumbarumba, the Maragle Valley is a sheltered valley environment, with suitably warm-ripening days and cold nights.

Grapes are handpicked, whole-bunch pressed and with minimal settling, fermented in both medium-toast French oak barriques and stainless-steel fermenters.

Matured for 6-months in oak with bi-weekly stirring of yeast lees sediments to improve texture.

As fruit freshness is desired, malolactic fermentation is not encouraged.
