Mike Press Wines Single Vineyard Adelaide Hills Chardonnay 2024
$19.00
Description
"A smooth ride with lots of flavour and requisite freshness. Sure, it finishes a little short, but what's here delivers a good hit of chardonnay 101 with its stone fruits, preserved lemon licks, a touch of baked apple and the faintest dash of sweet spice. Right on. Drink 2025-2027."

We harvested our Chardonnay grapes in the early morning when the temperature is cool to avoid the sugar levels rising and to preserve the quality of the fruit, before being cold fermented to help capture all the natural fruit aromas. Light straw yellow in colour, on the nose it is mostly about grapefruit, melons, apples and nectarine. It is a great example of an unwooded chardonnay from the Adelaide Hills stylistically. The wine is refreshing and crisp, with a full rounded palate with stone fruits and then finishing with minerality and complexity. There are some ‘green’ notes on the nose and back palate to give it lift.
