De Bortoli DB Family Selection Chardonnay
Very pale straw with a green tinge. Tight, fresh pear with stone fruit balanced with a subtle, hint of oak. This wine displays early picked peach and melon notes carried on a weighty palate, culminating in a fresh and crisp finish with the most interesting of oak nuances.

WINEMAKER NOTES
Fruit classification was based on those vineyards showing flavour expression characteristic of Sacred Hill quality. Healthy balanced vineyards profiling fresh stone fruits and a natural acidity were chosen for this wine style. This wine was fermented cool over a two week period. Selected parcels were fermented with the inclusion of French oak staves. Once fermentation was complete exceptional wines were matured on fine yeast lees over four months to build palate weight. 20% of the blend was fermented on two different French oak staves, adding to the complexity, and allowed to mellow on primary lees for five months.
