Amelia Park Chardonnay 2023

Details

The 2023 vintage was long and cool, picking later than we traditionally do, the cool conditions allowed the grapes too slowly ripen resulting in perfectly balanced flavours and natural acidity.

The fruit parcels were picked and chilled. The grapes were tipped as whole bunches directly into our press and gently pressed off into a tank. Natural settling occurred overnight and the cloudy juice was then sent to French oak barrels twenty-four hours later. Wild fermentation was completed in barrel and allowed to mature on its own lees for nine months, with minimal stirring during this time, to maintain freshness and natural acidity.
