The fruit for this wine was handpicked and whole bunch pressed. The cloudy juice was then transferred directly to a mixture of new and one and two year old French oak puncheons (500L) and barriques (228L).
Fermentation occurred spontaneously with wild yeast over the next three weeks. Post-ferment the barrels where topped and the wine matured in place for the next nine months before careful barrel selection and bottling.
Linguine alla Vongole with fresh parsley.
The palate is wonderfully fresh yet expressive, with ripe stone fruits drawn together by fine natural acidity. The acid then tightens and lengthens the back palate with the subtle Burgundy oak playing a supportive role. The 2020 Moonambel Chardonnay is an exemplary example of modern chardonnay from a unique site.
Perfumed and nutty, the nose is redolent of juicy white peaches and honey with a creamy cashew-like oak.
