Wagtail Chardonnay 2008

Simply wonderful clear golden straw colour with an attractive bouquet of peach, melon and little licks of lemon sherbet. The palate displays generous peach and citrus fruit flavours with a touch of vanillin oak and a clean, lingering aftertaste.
Vintage 2008 in the Adelaide Hills was one of the earliest on record, commencing in early February, some 2-3 weeks ahead of schedule. This was due to a warm Spring followed by unusually high summer temperatures in December before settling into milder weather during February and March. The excellent growing season led to even flowering and fruit set in all varieties. Crop levels were low to moderate producing fruit with outstanding flavor and intensity.
Winemaking Information:
Approximately 25% of the material was transferred into 1 year old French and American oak. When fermentation in oak was complete, the wine was blended back with the remainder fermented in stainless steel tank, where it was fined, stabilized and filtered ready for bottling.
