[SOLD-OUT] Caledonia Australis Chardonnay 2018

GORGEOUS GIPPSLAND CHARDONNAY, WITH GREAT FRESHNESS AND PLUMP PALATE 

"Caledonia Australis was the vision of a group of wine enthusiasts in the early 1990s to create quality Burgundian style wines, assisted by our talented wine maker and Master of Wine, Martin Williams, who shares this vision. Our approach to winemaking is true to Burgundy style. We seek the natural expression of regionality to produce wines that faithfully reflect our vineyards strengths and uniqueness. We embrace the principles of minimal winemaking intervention, applying contemporary technology as appropriate to achieve similar or superior results to traditional techniques. The results are wines of classic style and outstanding quality.

Very youthful citrus/honeydew aromas overlay delicate mineral hints. Oak and malolactic characters are very much in the background, lees-ageing has made its usual creamy/almond contribution, and subtle savoury aromas add further complexity. The palate is finely structured in a medium-bodied style. The fruit flavours tend towards lemon and apple, supported by fresh, slightly racy acidity. Oak contributes almost subliminal flavours and a hint of structural firmness, while the creaminess from yeast-lees contact provides a seamless texture. Promising length and complexity, combined with the wine's great freshness, suggest fine ageing potential." - Caledonia Australis
