Mount Mary Chardonnay 2008 (Yarra Valley)

Mount Mary Vineyards aim to make a Chardonnay with great length, which reaches a balance between richness and elegance. While some techniques are borrowed from the Burgundians, there are some departures from traditional practice in response to local factors, which ensures a unique wine. The most notable of these is that their Chardonnay does not undergo malolactic fermentation, as the local climate leaves the fruit with ideal acidity when it is picked.

"Bright green-yellow; absolutely in the mainstream of Mount Mary style, the French oak seamlessly moulded with the melon and nectarine fruit that flows through to the finish and aftertaste."
