Personalised Burton McMahon George's Chardonnay 2022 12.5% 750ml

VINIFICATION

Fruit is hand-picked to ensure only clean, healthy bunches are selected. The fruit is then whole bunched pressed and the juice settled overnight in tank. This was followed by a light racking directly to barrel (approximately 95% solids) where natural fermentation takes place. MLF is not encouraged and wines are sulphured directly after primary.

 

MATURATION

The wine is matured for 10 months in 30% new (225 – 500L) French oak barrels. Finally, the wine is racked from barrel to tank and filtered to bottle.

 

Burton McMahon is an innovative collaboration between Matt Burton and Dylan McMahon; two winemakers that forged a friendship while driving through the wine regions of France. Together, they source fruit from small, exclusive vineyards in the Yarra Valley to make interesting and unique wines that reflect varietal character and terroir. Dylan McMahon was on track to become an electronic engineer until he decided to follow his destiny and make wine. His grandfather Dr Peter McMahon planted the first vines at Seville Estate in Victoria's Yarra Valley in 1972. Dylan spent his first five years working with direction from previous winemakers Alistair Butt and Iain Riggs and has now been Seville Estate's Winemaker since 2004.

Matt has been involved at various levels of winemaking and wine business management for the last sixteen years. Starting out as a Trainee Winemaker in the Hunter Valley, Matt then gained invaluable experience making wine in the United States and France before heading to Coldstream Hills in the Yarra Valley. In 2003, he finally settled in the Hunter Valley where he was ultimately promoted to the dual role of Winemaker and General Manager at leading boutique winery Gundog Estate.
