2024 BEECHWORTH Chardonnay

Our first release of Beechworth Chardonnay from this Beechworth single site. 2024 was a growing season that delivered a fuller, richer expression of fruit. The Chardonnay was all hand-picked and chilled overnight. We whole bunch pressed the cool bunches to tank and transferred to barrel within 24hrs. Some solids were transferred with juice to build texture and complexity.

100% barrel fermented, part wild and the balance inoculated. Malolactic was avoided and wine was left on lees with little stirring for approximately 10 months. This is a rich, fuller expression when compared to previous releases and as a consequence we recommend consuming in its youth. Serve chilled, about 5-7˚c is perfect! Pull out of the fridge about 10 minutes before serving.

Food match: Your favourite roast chicken with duck fat potatoes and greens.

Cellaring Potential: Due to the season and subsequent style we recommend consuming fresh, can be cellared short term for up to 3 years if you wish. If cellaring wine always store in a cool dark spot free from large daily temperature fluctuations.
