2007 Eldridge Estate Chardonnay

The wine is very bright in the glass with a slight green tint on the edge. The nose is nutty with a hint of peach.  The palate has a creamy texture, good acid balance with citrus and a hint of melon. It has a nice zing on the finish.

Food match : Freshly shucked oysters or wild mushroom risotto.

The grapes were whole bunch pressed using a gentle air bag press with carbon dioxide cover to retain the varietal fruit character. The juice was fermented in 80% new French Oak with some solids before being moved to 30% new oak for a further 9 months.
