Spy Valley Chardonnay 2023 750ml

Hand-picked fruit was whole bunch pressed to help retain acid and lower fruit intensity. The wine was blended in tank following approx. 11.5months in barrel and allowed to sit for a few months on lees to help fully integrate prior to preparing for bottling.

The wine shows plenty of white stone fruit, peach and nectarine with nutmeg and toasty vanillin oak notes. The rich palate delivers apricot, spices and oak, with a clean long finish driven by bright acidity down the centre.
