All fruit was hand-picked and whole-bunch pressed in the cool of the early morning, in small three tonne batches. Fermentation occurred naturally with wild\/indigenous yeasts. No acid or fining agents were added during production. All barrels received SO₂ immediately post-fermentation, and no malolactic fermentation was allowed. Lees were stirred monthly, and the wine was matured for eight months in French oak. The barrel selection consisted of 225L barriques, with approximately 30% new oak the remainder was made up of one and two-year old barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVINTAGE NOTES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFollowing a late, cool 2023 season and good winter rainfall, the vines entered 2024 with excellent natural energy reserves. This led to healthy budburst, strong flowering and an average crop across most varieties. The 2024 season was notably early, characterised by consistently warm weather and no rainfall. Water management was critical to maintain vine health and played a key role in determining optimal harvest timing. Cool nights helped preserve acidity, though the shorter hang time meant grapes spent fewer nights ripening on the vine. The result was exceptionally bright, fresh acidity particularly evident in aromatic white varieties and Chardonnay. Marri blossom was abundant throughout most of the season, leading to minimal bird pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Credaro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42688795017449,"sku":"CCC-13.5%-750ML","price":64.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2435\/3999\/files\/Credaro1000CrownsChardonnay2022.jpg?v=1710126579"},{"product_id":"of-domaines-ott-chateau-romassan-bandol-rose-2020-6pack-13-750ml","title":"Domaines Ott Chateau Romassan Bandol Rose 2020 6pack 13% 750ML","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDomaines Ott Chateau Romassan Bandol Rose 2020 6pack 13% 750ML\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"appearance\" class=\"product-appearance\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAPPEARANCE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 2020 reveals a brilliant light peach hue and a lovely aromatic intensity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"aroma\" class=\"product-aroma\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAROMA\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nose is fresh and fruity with hints of peach and grapefruit.

Originally all grown on a spur-pruned, VSP trellis, the vineyard was converted to cane pruned and +70% lyre trellis in the mid 90’s with immediate and brilliant results.

As is our tradition, half the Chardonnay underwent primary fermentation in a bespoke selection of brand-new premium French oak barriques and the remaining half in stainless steel. Both portions were matured on undisturbed lees for eight months. MLF and battonage were avoided to retain the primary fruit flavours and freshness crucial to Ashbrook’s style of Chardonnay.

Below average temperatures from mid-July (through to February) meant the vines had an excellent dormancy, sluggish awakening and mild start to the growing season. Another 178.4mm of rainfall during spring (slightly above the 10- year average) left the vines in good stead for the very dry finish to ripening. Only 2.6mm rainfall was recorded over the summer months however, maximum daytime temperatures were average or below with no extreme heat events thanks to beautifully cool nights. The dry conditions and scarcity of Marri blossom meant netting the vines was essential to protect them from silvereye bird damage. We began harvesting Chardonnay on the 16th of February, one day later than the previous vintage, and had our last Petit Verdot grapes safely inside the winery by April 6th, before the rain arrived. The nine-week harvest period was our lengthiest in a while, thanks to bountiful yields, with all varieties except Riesling and Verdelho, above the ten-year average. The aroma and flavour intensity of the 2023 vintage, across the board, is nothing short of exceptional thanks to optimal dry weather conditions and impeccable vineyard health.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ashbrook Estate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48068828233961,"sku":"ASHCHA23-1","price":37.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2435\/3999\/files\/AshbrookMargaretRiverChardonnay2023.jpg?v=1737496235"},{"product_id":"rameau-dor-petit-amour-2023-12-5-750ml","title":"Rameau d'Or Petit Amour 2023 12.5% 750ml","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRameau d'Or Petit Amour 2023 12.5% 750ml\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRameau d'Or\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHandcrafted and bottled in the heart of Côtes de Provence, Rameau d’Or is a family-owned rosé producer passing down time-honoured winemaking techniques through generations.
