Lushof Chardonnay 2003 #16227

Fairbairn Capital Trophy Wine Show 2004 - Bronze Tasting Notes A creamy lemon gold colour immediately identifies the varietal here and intimates towards the buttered toast and ripe melon characteristics shown on the nose. The careful use of selected Frnch oak is demonstrated by the harmonious integration of aromas and underlying complexity, the whole berry press and lack of skin contact by the presence of more secondary flavours. Lemony citrus and cataloupe melon flavours complement the subtle bread and butter notes in a wine combining the best of both new and old world characteristics. The Harvest The grapes were harvested on the 6th February 2003. In the Cellar Whole berry press with zero skin contact or sulphur added. Cool fermentation and malolactic fermentation in oak, followed by nine months lees aging in barrel (all French, 50% new). Light earth filtration at bottling. This wine was bottled on 20 January 2004 Production: 450 x 12 cases. Ageing Potential Enjoyable both now or later, this Chardonnay shows a lees structure that will allow further development in the bottle.
