Pale straw in colour. The nose comprises fresh pear, citrus and rockmelon notes with subtle, complex oak characters. Rich and smooth with ripe white peach, nectarine and melon flavours. A delicious Chardonnay with a luscious and clean finish.
From the Winery
Parcels of fruit destined for the Deakin Estate Chardonnay were kept separate during a cool fermentation that maximises the fruit character. A number of different yeast strains are used, with a small portion being barrel fermented to add complexity to the wine. Ferments are left on yeast lees and periodically stirred, helping to contribute to a creamier mouth feel. Only the best of the resultant batches make it through to the final Deakin Estate blend
