Josef Chromy Chardonnay 2018 (Tasmania)

This wine from Josef Chromy is 100% estate grown Chardonnay, with fruit sourced from the vineyards in Relbia, Northern Tasmania.

Handpicked and whole bunch pressed with a portion directly to barrel and a portion to tank for set settling and racked clean to barrel after 24 hours. All oak consisted of French barriques with approximately one third new, and the remainder one and two year old. Fermentation was carried out in barrel, with elements of wild ferment for enhanced texture and depth. Barriques are stirred weekly to give palate weight and complexity. The wine spent approximately 12 months in oak, before being bottled. Sealed under screw-cap to enable the wine to be enjoyed at its optimum. Winery Notes
