2019 Evans & Tate Redbrook Estate Chardonnay - 750ml
2019 was a beautiful vintage in Margaret River. A steady, mild season allowed for slow, measured flavour development that resulted in balanced natural acidity and lifted varietal fruit character, resulting in wines with incredible perfume, true elegance and real personality. At perfect ripeness, the fruit was hand-picked in the early hours of the morning. With 100% wild yeast fermentation, the gently pressed juice was stirred every six weeks on full solids before 10 months on yeast lees in tank. No malolactic fermentation occurred. The wine was the aged in a combination of 90% one-year-old and 10% new oak barrels before being left for maturation in bottle for a year.
This wine achieves the difficult balance of providing a wonderfully complex Chardonnay drinking experience without sacrificing fruit freshness and vitality. As a result, this expertly made wine will be just as rewarding to lay down as its red counterparts. It will very slowly develop more subtle complexities and character for years to come while ensuring fruit and hence regional character is the focal point of the Redbrook Reserve style.
