Katnook Founders Block Chardonnay 2008
|
| |
|
|
2008 Coonawarra vintage is remembered not only for the seasonal variability, but the outstanding ripe fruit flavours. During veraison, slightly above average temperatures and dry conditions produced fruit in excellent condition for this style.
Harvest of Chardonnay was approximately one week earlier than usual and the grapes were in pristine condition, disease free and near optimum ripeness. The wines have attractive ripe varietal expression showing the vibrant stone fruit flavours expected of the variety.
Showing an attractive array of fresh aromas - stone fruits, pineapple and some lovely citrus characters are all apparent on the nose. Subtle light toasty oak notes add a touch of complexity to the fruit driven aromas.
An appealing range of fresh tantalising fruit flavours with hints of toasty oak notes to highlight the generous palate structure. On the mouthfeel there is subtle richness and creaminess with light oak adding to the enticing fruit flavours and the palate is
fresh and lingering.
13.5% Alc/Vol.
