This Chardonnay is a single vineyard wine from Justin Fahey’s property on the Yarra Valley floor. A selection of clones was used, with around 80% being Gingin and the balance Bernard 76 and 95. A mix of destemmed fruit and whole berry pressing is employed, then high solids juice was fermented in a mixture of new and seasoned French oak. The wine spent its entire oak maturation on yeast lees and was racked just prior to blending. A small portion of the wine went through malo-lactic fermentation to add texture and palate weight.
On the nose, nectarine, citrus flowers, and Nashi pear combine with the hallmark pineapple notes of the Gingin clone. Cashew nut barrel ferment, and flinty characters. Framed nicely with some French oak spice and toast.
Fermented and matured for nine months in 100% French oak barriques, with around 24% new.
Drink now to enjoy vibrant varietal flavours or allow depth and complexity to grow over the next three to five years or so.
