This wine is intense, revealing layer after layer of nuance. Citrus blossom, hazelnut, anise, apricot, gun flint and mineral flavours mingle with the firm structure and creamy texture. The wine is rock solid at the core, flawlessly focused and extremely long, with great acids and grip on a very minerally finish. Extended bottle maturation of this wine will allow the tight complex character of this wine to develop. Cellar 5-10 years. Winner of the trophy for 'Best Wine of Show', 2008 Geelong Wine Show. Fruit for the 'Allegra' Chardonnay was sourced entirely from the historic Rebenberg Vineyard at Mount Duneed, an area first planted with vines in 1858. The premium fruit comes from over 35 year old vines yielding less than one tonne/acre, and was hand-picked at 13.2 Baumé and pH 3.25. Fruit was whole bunch pressed and run into 100% new French oak puncheons (450-500L) without prior clarification. Fermentation occurred with indigenous yeast. Following the end of fermentation (21 days) lees stirring was conducted on a daily basis in barrel for 20 days. Wines were left in barrel on gross lees for a further 13 months prior to marriage and bottling. No Allegra Reserve Chardonnay was produced in 2006
*What the critics think*
2005 –“Vibrant green-yellow; rich, supple, ripe nectarine and ripe peach support by gentle French oak; line, length and balance.” Rating 94 points / 2012 James Halliday – The Australian Wine Companion - 2009
