[SOLD-OUT] Giaconda Chardonnay 2012

Gourmet Travelller 94 points!
"A typical full-bodied, very rich Giaconda, which this year adopts a funky style. A powerful, weighty and long chardonnay."
Gourmet Traveller, October 2014

Our Estate Vineyard Chardonnay is planted on the cooler south-facing exposure. The wine is fully barrel fermented with approximately 30% new French oak and allowed to go through Malolactic fermentation, which adds more complexity and structure. This wine is aged in barrel for 22 months, deep underground in our granite maturation cave.

"A deep hue of green and gold defines this wine - one of intensity and depth. Aromas of peach, oatmeal, subtle notes of charred peat, seasoned by complex lees derived characters ('the good dirt') with flashes of matchstick. The palate has intense fruit power in the spectrum of nectarine to peach stone fruits is deftly laced with complex seasoned oak that adds a zesty orange rind and ginger component to the wine. Powerful and long, the 2012 will be more immediately appealing given the sheer unadulterated intensity of the wine. This wine is an essay in depth and balance."
