Edition Noir Chardonnay

This Chardonnay was picked in the early hours of the morning, then transported to Cassegrain’s, keeping the fruit as cool as possible. We chose to only mildly clarify the juice, to create further texture and depth. It was predominantly matured in one year old 500ltr French puncheons. A small portion went through malolactic fermentation to soften the acidity and add a little more complexity. This stunning fruit profile is the epitome of what makes the region of Hunter Valley great.

Lemon, pear, melon, and French Oak. Rich fruit palate with a creamy mouthfeel and nice oak intensity.
