 |
Palliser Estate Chardonnay is a celebration of strong, citrusy fruit flavours, it is gently seasoned with oak, producing a delicious wine with subtle winemaking input and concentrated varietal flavours. Gracefulness, delicacy, finesse - these are its key attributes.
The wine can cellar well for at least five years, but within three or four years, its charms are fully revealed
Palliser Estate:
This Chardonnay is made from Mendoza and clone 95 chardonnay. The grapes were whole bunch pressed to minimise phenolic extraction with the juice being fermented in French oak casks. The wine remained on yeast lees for nine months to give a creamy full palate.
A sensational nose revealing a range of ripe tropical fruits with spicy oak complexity. The palate is delicious showing excellent intensity and concentration combined with seamless, smooth texture. The spicy oak gives the wine length and complexity and a long finish. Full and rich yet with elegance and fineness. A stunningly classy Chardonnay that is immediately drinkable but will keep well for a few years to come.
