Bramblewood Winery
Elegant Chardonnay with vibrant stone fruit aromas and a balanced acidity.
This elegant Chardonnay from Bramblewood Winery showcases the exceptional qualities of Australian winemaking. Produced in the heart of their estate vineyards, this 2023 vintage represents a perfect balance between modern techniques and traditional craftsmanship.
Wine Making
The grapes are carefully hand-harvested during the cool morning hours to preserve their delicate flavors. After gentle pressing, the juice undergoes fermentation in a combination of stainless steel tanks and French oak barrels. The wine then ages on its lees for several months, developing complexity while maintaining freshness.
Taste Profile
On the nose, this Chardonnay presents vibrant aromas of ripe stone fruits, citrus blossom, and subtle vanilla notes. The palate reveals layers of white peach, nectarine, and lemon zest, complemented by a gentle touch of oak. A well-balanced acidity provides structure and freshness, leading to a long, elegant finish.
Territory
The vineyards are situated in a cool-climate region of Australia, where maritime influences and elevation create ideal conditions for Chardonnay cultivation. The combination of well-draining soils and moderate temperatures allows for optimal ripening while maintaining natural acidity.
