VITICULTURE & WINEMAKING:
Specially selected Organic certified vineyards in the Riverland and McLaren Vale of South Australia lend their fruit to this wine.
Exceptional organic husbandry has produced ripe flavorsome fruit.
The 2009 vintage was relatively cool, the exception being a short heat wave in February. This cooler year has been great for aromatic varietal expression, and a general lack of disease pressure has allowed us to harvest the fruit at optimum ripeness. White varieties also benefited from a juicy natural acidity contributing to excellent palate weight and flavor persistence overall.
Picked late at night to harvest the grapes as cold as possible the grapes were transported to the winery and pressed using modern membrane tank presses. After cold settling the clear juice was carefully racked to cooled fermentation tanks and small oak barrels and inoculated with selected yeasts. Cool fermentation was followed by minimal handling filtration and bottling at the Angove Family's Certified Organic winery.

'Angove is beginning to turn a healthy shade of green. As well as converting 40 hectares of their Riverland vineyards to certified organic practice, it also runs a 10-hectare vineyard in McLaren Vale biodynamically. And while waiting for fruit from these vineyards, it has also bought grapes from other certified vineyards to release wines under an organic label. This well-price chardonnay has lovely lemon-fresh zestiness as well as the ripe, peachy fruit you expect to find from Riverland-grown grapes.'

'While the bouquet is subdued, the palate has unexpected texture and length, with gently savoury nuances.'
