In Dreams Chardonnay 2023 12pack 13% 750ml

Tasting Notes

Appearance
Pale straw in colour.

Aroma
Lifeted aromatics of lemon peel, guava, just-ripe nectarine and thyme.

Palate
The aromas carry through to the palate, which has a saline, wet rock minerality and preserved lemon at its core. A nougat, brioche-y richness with some talc-like oak phenolics help carry the wine to the finish and blends seamlessly with the wine’s naturally vibrant acidity.

Vinification
Pressed to stainless steel for a quick settle before transferring cloudy juice to French oak (10% new) for fermentation and maturation. Malo-lactic fermentation was discouraged. Assembled and bottled in December 2023.

Vintage notes
The 2023 vintage was a cool and wet growing season in the Yarra Valley, producing small crops of well-balanced fruit. The season started two weeks later than usual allowing the development of lovely fruit characters and good concentration. The 2023 In Dreams Chardonnay displays the classic Upper Yarra Chardonnay characteristics of citrus, just ripe stone fruit and a refreshing line of acid.

Region notes
