The 2024 ripening season in South Australia was dominated by warm and dry weather, with the drought conditions of the previous years resulting in low yields. The subsequent low crops ripened early in summer of 2024, avoiding the late season heat.
The Vinagyu Australis Chardonnay is produced from ripe grapes harvested in the cool of night from 20 year old vines, grown on red loam over limestone.
South Australia provides consistent warm and dry ripening conditions each year. Early ripening Chardonnay grapes develop a complex array of fruit flavours from crisp green apple and pear early in the season through to rich tropical fruit characters in small golden bunches prior harvest. The Vinagyu Australis Chardonnay grapes are progressively harvested as flavours develop to ensure complexity of both flavour and texture in the wine.
Ripe Chardonnay grapes were gently pressed and cool fermented with a number of yeast strains enhancing and retaining a wide range of fruit aromas and flavours. Selected batches were retained on yeast lees in order to build both complexity and mouth feel.
Carefully blended to ensure a range of fresh fruit characters were captured and expressed this medium bodied dry white wine displays a complete array of fruit characters typical of the warm Australian climate. Ripe peach, melon and pear aromas are enhanced by round tropical mid palate fruit and crisp acidity. The intense fruit flavours are best enjoyed in their youth while most vibrant and refreshing.
The Vinagyu Australis Chardonnay is best enjoyed within 5 years.
