RockBare Adelaide Hills Single Vineyard Chardonnay 2018
Adelaide Hills, Mount Lofty Ranges, Adelaide, South Australia, AustraliaAdelaide Hills chardonnay grapes were picked at night and cold fermented in stainless steel tanks with aromatic yeasts. It's aged for eight months and stirred weekly. After fermentation, the juice is blended, and lees stirred once a week for eight months. The result is a beautiful, fresh, creamy, 13% chardonnay, with spice oatmeal and juicy peach, nectarine, and green fruit. Love the texture here, and the simplicity of getting the fruit onto your palate. The phenolics are light and the acidity perfect, allowing this to mesh with a variety of foods. I am thinking about pasta olio or asparagus risotto. The RockBare estate is a modern negociant winery situated in Hahndorf, South Australia.Tasted: 10 November 2019Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $31.99 | 750ml | private wine shops |
