Merricks Estate Chardonnay 2023
The Merricks Estate Chardonnay was made from two batches of grapes and treated differently. The first batch was picked 10 days earlier than the second batch and was fermented with wild yeast and went through its malo naturally. The second batch was picked at a higher sugar levels and the juice had skin contact before being inoculated with yeast and subsequently induced Malo oak treatment was the same for both batches. Both batches were blended together before bottling.
The palate of plush stone fruit, citrus and lemon curd is beautifully supported by secondary notes of French butter, grilled cashews and spicy oak. The wine is framed by a lovely line of fine acidity and the finishes long with a silky mouth feel.
A complex, rich but balanced style of old vine chardonnay juxtaposing the old with the new.

Mornington Peninsula Wines
South of Melbourne, the Mornington Peninsula grape growing region has a cool, maritime climate that is most known for their Pinot Noir and Chardonnay production. Other varieties that have seen some success here include Pinot Gris and Tempranillo.
However, it does seem that Pinot Noir is their focus judging from the fact that The Mornington Peninsula International Pinot Noir Celebration is held once every two years. The event displays the region’s capabilities in making some of Australia’s finest Pinot Noir in front of local and international audiences.
