The 2009 Valhalla Chardonnay shows complex savoury aromas supported by quality oak and typical fruit characters found at the ripe end of the Chardonnay flavour spectrum; grapefruit and marmalade characters with hints of apricot characters derived from a small amount of noble berries in the bunches. The palate has good weight balanced with vibrant acidity and quinine like freshness on the finish. A savoury complex wine that will reward time in the glass to open up or similarly time in the cellar to become perfectly integrated. Multiple passes through the vineyards were made to avoid any botrytis. Hand harvesting resulted in selections of fruit in very good condition with golden bunches showing ripe flavours and good acidity. Whole bunch pressed straight to a mix of 225 and 500 litre French oak barrels. A spontaneous fermentation was carried out by wild yeasts followed by elevage on lees for the winter. At the onset of Spring the wines had an addition of sulphur to halt the onset of Malolactic fermentation. Blended and bottled in the new year.
