Stock Status: Private Order Only Per Case / Size: 6 x 750ml Intro: Driftwood Estate is a family-owned, boutique winery, located in the heart of Wilyabrup, Margaret River. The vineyard, draped on picturesque gravelly slopes a stones throw from the indian ocean, provides the free-draining soils and the mild maritime climate perfect for creating flavourful wines of character and distinction. Description: This elegant refined chardonnay displays complex aromas of white stone fruits, lemon sorbet, orange blossom, frangipani, vanilla yogurt, butterscotch and toasted walnuts. Vinification: 100% Chardonnay GEOGRAPHICAL INDICATION | Wilyabrup, Margaret River WINEMAKERS | Kane Grove OAK/MATURATION | French Oak (44% new) – 9 months ALC% VOL | 12.8% TA | 7.8 g/l PH | 3.14 The Chardonnay is Gin Gin clone sourced entirely from the Driftwood Estate vineyard blocks 21 and 20. The grapes were whole-bunch pressed to tank and then immediately transferred to barrel for fermentation. Flavours: The palate is lined with layers of creamy texture, crunchy vibrant pure fruit and fragrant floral flavours bound by well-integrated complementary French oak that lingers on the tongue. Delicate phenolics dance with grapefruit pith and lemon juice which gives way to a driving mineral backbone, resulting in a wine of great length, focus and poise.
