Plantagenet York Chardonnay 2021 vintage is a 100% Chardonnay blend, with a very pale straw luminous green hue to it.

A lifted, punchy style of chardonnay that displays pristine, fresh aromatics of ripe melon and grapefruit. Seamlessly integrated French Oak nuttiness that helps promote the fruit rather than dominate.

The palate is tight and focused on a natural mineral acid core with a creamy textured mid-palate and long, long finish.

Winery & Vintage Info

The 2021 Great Southern vintage was characterised by a warmer than average March that aided ripening conditions for all key varietals. Rain in February provided critical soil moisture that allowed canopies to remain healthy and green and the normal cool nights in March allowed optimum acidity to be retained in the aromatic white varieties.

The fruit for the 2021 Plantagenet York Chardonnay saw a combination of handpicked - whole bunch and machine harvested fruit. Pressed tank then racked to French oak barriques (~30% new) with a high degree of solids. Combination of wild and inoculated fermentation held below 20°C. Malolactic ferment not encouraged. Lees stirred weekly initially and reduced to monthly towards the end of maturation. Racked to final blend, light fining, stabilisation, filtration, and bottling.
