Product details

  • Winemaker

    Rafael Urrejola

  • Variety

    Chardonnay
  • Falaris Hill Vineyard Chardonnay has a refined and complex nose with ripe citrus character and mineral notes. Subtle oak influence combines with lemon and dry wheat aromas. Fresh and dense in the mouth, with a creamy texture in the mid palate and a lively acidity further back, providing freshness and length to a toasted almonds aftertaste.

Liquid Hunches: "Lemony and racy."

Bob TyrerThe Sunday Times, October 2011

Winemaking

The grapes were hand harvested during the mornings of the first week of April and then underwent a gentle whole cluster pressing. The juice was chilled down to 8C and then gravity clarified. The must was fermented with several yeasts selections in French oak barrels, 25 % of them new. Battonage was done twice a week while the wine was in barrels, 8 months, for the right integration of fruit and oak aromas and flavours. The vineyard is managed in order to keep low yields, between 6 and 7 tons per hectare, and therefore to obtain top quality wines.

  1. The 'new' new world Chardonnay! Review by Matt

    On the nose and palate its a wonderful fruit cocktail but the brilliant thing is that its governed by perfect brightness and acidity that lifts it and keeps it all in check.
    Nectarine, peach, grapefruit and lemon with a lovely hint of honey and a lengthy mineral finish. Superb. (Posted on 10/05/2009)
