Ladies who Shoot their Lunch Wild Ferment Chardonnay 2014

Strathbogie Ranges , Victoria, AustraliaA blend from Victoria's Strathbogie Ranges, this was fermented wild (50 percent) in French oak puncheons, with 30 percent of the wine spending 12 months in new French 500L Puncheons, and 15 percent in 6000L oak vats. This full bodied and ripe chardonnay benefits from opening in advance, allowing the ample oak, lemon curd, cloud of wispy cloves to dissipate. A stream of acidity streams through, carrying ripe pear, apple alongside lemon pith, salts and popcorn. Youthful still, this concentrated wine will integrate further with time.Tasted: 29 March 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
