Widely planted in Australia, Chardonnay produces rich, flavoursome wines in warm climates and more complex wines with finesse in cooler climates. Generally fermented or aged in oak but unwooded styles are also popular.
Vintage Conditions: The Adelaide Hills produced an outstanding vintage for cool-climate Chardonnay in 2009. It began with a cool winter in which rainfall was better than the two previous years. While this was still below the long term average, it was sufficient to provide good soil moisture levels coming into spring. This was fortunate as the remainder of spring and summer remained very dry, except for a single downpour in December. The start of summer was also unusually cool which delayed veráison. As a result, a hot spell in early February that negatively affected fruit in other regions was too early to affect Adelaide Hills’ Chardonnay which ripens later in the cooler climate. The rest of the vintage in the Adelaide Hills saw lovely weather conditions with cool nights from mid February through March which meant that fruit condition, flavour and acid balance were excellent. The wide spectrum of micro-climates within the Adelaide Hills region lead to a range of expressions of the Chardonnay variety, with the best examples in 2009 exhibiting clean, citrus fruit with natural acidity that are suitable for making modern styles of age worthy Chardonnay.

Region: Adelaide Hills

Colour: Pale yellow with vibrant green hues

Bouquet: Highly fragrant cool climate varietal aromas of citrus and white peach, with a touch of spicy oak.

Palate: Lemon citrus with a hint of cashew nut and rich, textural creamy weight. A full flavoured wine with crisp acidity that provides an elegant structure and great length.

Cellaring Potential: Attractive drinking now, and with careful cellaring will gain further complexity in bottle over the next 3 to 5 years.

Serving suggestion: Serve chilled. An ideal accompaniment to roast chicken, pan-seared swordfish or vegetarian dishes.
