3.6
Non-pretentious Chardonnay that tries not to be a fruit bomb with some arguable success. A mixture of nectarine, oak, green apricot, and slightly dried lime. Watery and crisp with flavours of nectarine and citrus. Not complex, not explosive, but pleasant in its calmness.
About
Drover's Hut Chardonnay is part of the personality series that tells stories from the estate's past. Grapes are harvested at night to preserve the crips and bright aromatics and flavours. After the destemming process, they are pressed and fermented in stainless steel tanks. After the initial alcoholic fermentation, the wine is left sur lie for 6-8 months (with monthly stirring) in 2nd and 3rd-use barrels. No malolactic fermentation occurs.
