Pask Gimblett Gravels Chardonnay 2022

Lovely toasty notes of roasted nuts, overlayed with a lifted floral citrus and elderflower abound. To taste the wine has a nutty biscuity mid palate followed through with nut and citrus flavours leading to a structured and textural elegant palate.

Vintage 2022 was rather a mixed bag with warm weather leasing into Christmas and the new year, followed with some strong fresh winds and warm nights before an early vintage accompanied by rain. Choosing when and how often to pick was they key, getting fruit in clean with higher acids, or leaving it out through the rains and getting it in ripe but with lower acids.

Chardonnay from our Gimblett Road vineyard was harvested in early March 2020 by both hand harvesting and machine harvesting.

Harvested from our Gimblett Gravles vineyard. Predominantly fermented in stainless tanks then transferred to French Oak barriques for maturation for 16 months. Blended then bottled late 2023 this is a youthful yet elegant expression of Gimblett Gravels Chardonnay.
