Philip Shaw No. 11 Chardonnay
$42.00 inc.GST
Nurturing potential and harnessing elegance to create an expression of chardonnay that is true to its origin.
No 11 Chardonnay is named in reference to the original block that the grapes used to make this wine came from, Block 11. More recently blocks 6 and 12, have been dominate in this wine.
Palate:
The No 11 Chardonnay is pale straw in colour with a green hue. There are expressive white florals and stone fruits on the nose with bright citrus lift. The palate is powerful yet elegant with savoury layers of toasty oak and cashew nuts that give the wine depth and complexity.
Grapes for this wine have been hand harvested with coarse settling at ambient temperatures overnight. Indigenous yeasts were used for fermentation within French oak barriques, of which 30% were new oak. The wine went through partial malolactic fermentation in spring and battonage occurred during maturation. The wine spent 10 months on fermentation solids.
Description
An eclectic No11 Chardonnay that combines delicate aromas and holds attention with its concentrated acidity and a saline finish edge.
Pear flesh, chamomile and subtle oaky notes. The flinty flavour alternates with a prolonged minerality and a long balanced refreshing tension.
