    Description

    A proper Chardonnay from Kangaroo Island's maritime climate.

    The Chardonnay is fermented in barrel and is a delicious full-bodied (but not buttery) wine showing cashew and white stone fruit on the nose and palate, with a hint of nougat too. A super balanced Chardy with lovely oak, acid, fruit and length.

    Description

    We pick the grapes at night and bring them back to our Battle of Bosworth winery in Willunga, McLaren Vale. Grapes are gently pressed off their skins and then pumped into oak barrels (we use mainly hogsheads which are 500 litres). We use about 30% new oak; the rest is older oak. The chardonnay undergoes a full barrel ferment. We stop the wine going through malo (malo = malolactic fermentation, where malic acid is converted to lactic acid leading to a reduction in acidity. We want to keep the lovely crunchy acidity and don't want to soften it. We bottle the Chardonnay after about 6 months in oak.

    What The Critics Say
    "Fermented in French oak (20% new) followed by a short maturation before bottling. Inviting and rich scents of nougat and lemon curd stuffed panettone, with a pulsing quartz-led mineral note. This is a step up from previous vintages, the fruit cleaner, and the resultant wine is better for it. Peach, lime zest, white nectarine and grapefruit lead, before a gentle thrum of saline saltiness ripples through the fruit as it reaches the shore's edge. A solid offering."

    ABOUT THIS BRAND

    Springs Road

    Springs Road is an established vineyard in the Cygnet river area of Kangaroo Island. The Cabernet Sauvingon is a medium body wine with great red fruit characters, fine tannins and a wonderful finish. Springs Road Wines has been owned and operated since 2016 by the owners of Battle of Bosworth Wines Joch Bosworth and Louise Hemsley-Smith. After taking the McLaren Vale based Battle of Bosworth winery crew on a mystery tour of Kangaroo Island at the end of the 2016 vintage, Joch was shopping for groceries in the regional town of Kingscote when he happened upon a sales advertisement for Springs Road vineyards. After recognising the vineyards potential, the property was bought and the rest is history. The vineyard is on a special site in a very special place. It has a unique combination of relatively low rainfall, low soil fertility and a moderate maritime climate which results in low yielding vines producing highly coloured and intensely flavoured wines. We have approximately 11 acres of Shiraz, just under 11 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon and just about 3 acres of Chardonnay planted at Springs Road. These Kangaroo Island vineyards are a perfect fit for us in their pristine location on an island which is certified GMO free. Joch has continued with his organic ways which began in his vineyards in Willunga and Springs Road is undergoing conversion to certified organic viticulture.
