Tasting Notes

The 2007 Eaglehawk Chardonnay is light straw in colour
with a vibrant youthful hue. The bouquet is typical of
Australian chardonnay with tropical melon and peach
characters and subtle oak integration. The palate is
medium weight with rich fruit flavours and a backbone of
supporting French oak. The finish is crisp and refreshing.

VITICULTURE
100% Chardonnay fruit was sourced from a range of
vineyard sites in the premium wine growing regions of
South Eastern Australia.

WINEMAKING
Following crushing, the wine was cool fermented to retain
the fresh fruit flavours. Traditional winemaking techniques
including stirring on yeast lees and malolactic
fermentation were used on small parcels to further enhance
these flavours and add greater complexity and a creamy
mouth feel. The wine was matured with French and
American oak to develop palate weight and mouth feel.
