The 2017 shows good freshness of fruit together with some savoury notes from the solids and wild ferment. Classic grapefruit, white peach and dried pear fruits give way to barrel ferment and sulphide complexities. These sulphides contribute a lovely savoury oyster shell or saline character, giving the wine greater complexity and overall purity. This stylWorld Winee ultimately complements many modern Australian food flavours.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWINEMAKING NOTES\u003cbr\u003eAfter overnight cold storage the Chardonnay fruit was whole bunch pressed into French oak puncheons before undergoing full wild yeast fermentation. To achieve a portion with high grape solids we rotated the press after filling. The key to successful wild fermentation is the use of high turbidity juices, minimal sulphur dioxide, low alcohols and juices with good nutrient content. The 2017 SRS Chardonnay was barrel fermented in 35% new French puncheons and then aged for 10 months. We stirred the lees and inoculated 20% of barrels for MLF.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAWARDS \/ REVIEWS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTrophy for the Best Western Australia Chardonnay International Wine Challenge 2019\u003cbr\u003eGold, 95 pts - International Wine Challenge 2019\u003cbr\u003eConsistency of Excellence award - Royal Melbourne Wine Awards 2018\u003cbr\u003eGold - Royal Melbourne Wine Awards 2018\u003cbr\u003eGold - Sydney Royal Wine Show 2018\u003cbr\u003eGold - Perth Royal Wine Awards 2018\u003cbr\u003eGold - Royal Adelaide Wine Show 2018\u003cbr\u003eGold - Wine Show of Western Australia 2018\u003cbr\u003e97 Points - Ray Jordan, West Weekend\u003cbr\u003eGold - International Wine Challenge 2018\u003cbr\u003eBLEND\u003cbr\u003e100% Margaret River Chardonnay.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCELLARING\u003cbr\u003eDrinking well now or cellar 5-10 years.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Flametree","offers":[{"title":"1 Bottle","offer_id":15690169450605,"sku":"JHLFLAME750","price":56.1,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"6 Bottle Case","offer_id":41435266383981,"sku":"JHLFLAME750-6","price":319.77,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1421\/5622\/products\/FTSRSWallChard2017TP450.jpg?v=1686825001"},{"product_id":"lake-breeze-cabernet-sauvignon-1","title":"Lake Breeze Cabernet Sauvignon 2017","description":"\u003cp\u003eTraditional open fermentation was employed followed by maturation in French oak barriques for 20 months, prior to bottling.

In spite of the relentless proliferation of Rosé on the market, Peter Schell's wine--now into its second decade of production--keeps coming up, well, roses. It's simply a wonderful example that stacks up brilliantly against the best French examples. The complexity and interest here derives in part from the varieties used: 31% Mataro, 29% Grenache, 16% Carignan, 14% Cinsault and 10% Ugni Blanc. These vines are all dry-grown Barossa vineyards, \"mainly bush vines, all hand-picked--old school,\" chuckles Pete. In short, sites selected for their ability to produce outstanding quality rosé material (the average age of vines is 65 years old although the oldest parcels range up to 120 years of age). Grapes are handpicked and crushed bunches were macerated for between 6-24 hours prior to pressing before the wine was fermented with indigenous yeasts and matured on lees prior to bottling. Approximately 5% was fermented and matured in old French oak demi-muids, the rest in tank. Bottled without filtration, the resulting wine offers the kind of vibrant perfume (of red fruit, nectarine and white flower), texture and crunchy line that were once the exclusive domaine of Provençal Rosé.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Spinifex","offers":[{"title":"1 Bottle","offer_id":31738757709933,"sku":"BIBSPI2019","price":57.21,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"6 Bottle Case","offer_id":41435270512749,"sku":"BIBSPI2019-6","price":326.1,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1421\/5622\/products\/p_38993.jpg?v=1695983686"},{"product_id":"di-majo-norante-rosato-2016","title":"Di Majo Norante Rosato 2016","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis juicy, bistro-friendly blend of 80% Montepulciano and 20% Aglianico comes by the hand of Alessio Di Majo, the 'lone wolf' of Molise (an obscure, easily-overlooked D.O.C sandwiched between the Apennines and the Adriatic Sea).
