2020 Onannon Single Vineyard 'Tuerong' Chardonnay
Regular price $58.00
The wine comprises Chardonnay clone 95. The fruit was whole bunch-pressed and then sent straight to barrel (33% new oak) to ferment with indigenous yeasts. 100% MLF. All the barrels were stirred monthly until winter and then left without sulphur on gross lees. The wine was blended in early December, filtered and bottled in late December 2019.
“It’s a ripper chardonnay. Absolute top drawer. The length of it, wow. It tastes of white peach and nectarine, shells and lactose, hay and sweet cedar. But the tension here, the impression of power and the sheer length; this is quality with a hum to it. File this one under Excellent..”
