Wine Description
Fruit was handpicked, sorted by hand, and whole bunch pressed for gentle extraction of juice. The Chardonnay was pressed directly into 30% new oak and 1-4 year old seasoned barrels. Spontaneous fermentation was allowed by indigenous yeast followed by natural, partial MLF, to provide depth and complexity to the palate and aromatics. The wine was matured in oak for 9 months on lees, before a barrel selection was carried out to determine the most complex and characterful barrels. Three barrels were chosen that met the standards for the Burnside release. The wine received minimal fining and filtration.
