Warramate Chardonnay 2021 - Yarrra Valley
Closure: Screw cap
Bottle size: 750ml
Aroma & Bouquet: Sweet citrus, lemon curd, gingersnap & lemongrass.
Palate: Homemade lemonade and grapefruit pith abound on the palate with varietal silkiness giving it a lightness through the mid palate and a pleasing long and lingering finish.
Whole bunch pressed to extract the purest Chardonnay juice then fermented on some light solids which lend weight, texture and ultimately complexity. Some of the individual clones only in barrel for fermentation before transfer to stainless steel tank to keep the wine bright and focused. For this reason no malolactic fermentation was initiated either. Only French oak is used with 20% being new barrels, the balance a mixture of older barrels, maturation time 10 months before bottling.

Producers notes
Warramate Wines is a small, independently owned vineyard in Victoria’s Yarra Valley. It was established in 1970 on a spectacular north-facing slope overlooking the central Yarra Valley.
With plantings of Riesling, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Shiraz, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay it produces wines of distinction, depth and intensity from its hand-tended and non-irrigated vines.
Jack and June Church first started planting vines in 1969 after an extensive search throughout Victoria for a plot that would be suitable for their dream vineyard.
Dr Bailey Carrodus from Yarra Yering had just started planting vines on his property below the Warramate site that Jack and June Church eventually settled on.
On the other side of Maddens Lane, Guillaume de Pury had begun to re-establish the vineyard at Yeringberg, while Dr John Middleton’s Mount Mary was established a few years later.
In 2017, our winemaker Sarah Crowe was awarded the Halliday Wine Companion Australian Winemaker of the Year. Sarah continues to craft award winning wines for both Warramate and Yarra Yering.
