West Cape Howe ‘Old School’ Chardonnay 2023 (12 Bottles)

🛒Marketplace Product - Please allow up to 2 - 4 days for dispatch.

Our ‘Old School’ Chardonnay is from specific blocks from our Langton & Hayview vineyards in Mt Barker. The fruit was picked a little after that for our Styx Gully to produce a slightly fuller style of Chardonnay. Predominately barrel fermented (~40% new) it all went through malolactic fermentation to produce a softer, complex, and textured wine. Bright and clear with a light golden straw colour. Has light melon fruit aromas; think honeydew and rockmelon, along with a delicate creamy cashew nut character and just a hint of butterscotch adding complexity. This is a well-balanced and well-integrated Chardonnay. After 6 months in barrel post fermentation, the melon fruit flavours are well integrated with the subtle oak characters. It was a clean primary ferment so there’s still a lovely freshness to this wine and, as the malolactic fermentation reduces the acidity, it’s soft and generous and imminently drinkable!

Enjoy this wine with fresh white fish or fresh shellfish (oysters with a splash of lemon juice are a big tick), and grilled prawns with a fresh citrus sauce will also be a winner too. Vietnamese-style chicken salad is also a great pairing if you're feeling something more substantial too.
