Moorooduc Estate Chardonnay
Pale gold in color with a rich, savory nose of white nectarine, cashew nuts, brine, rillettes, dill and cedar notes. On the palate the wine is textural with mealy notes and grapefruit freshness and a long finish with salty almond notes. Mornington Peninsula, Victoria.
Established in 1982 by Richard and Jill McIntyre, Moorooduc Estate is a small, family run wine business that has developed an enviable reputation for complex and food friendly wines. Hands-on care in the vineyard, with minimal use of chemicals, produces the best possible fruit. Wild yeast ferments and minimal intervention winemaking, with a nod to traditional Burgundian techniques, allow our wines to express their site specificity, or terroir.
Hand harvesting, Whole bunch pressing, 100% wild yeast fermentation in 25% new French oak barrels, natural malolactic fermentation (100%) in barrel, 10 Months in wood on lees with 1 racking prior to bottling, light fining and filtration.
