2006 Eden Valley Chardonnay

Viticulture

The fruit for this was sourced from premium vineyards in the Eden Valley. The 2005 vintage began with a cool, wet spring, followed by extremes of temperature in February. By autumn, however, the weather had settled providing perfect ripening conditions resulting in grapes with excellent flavor and great natural acidity.

Vinification

Partial barrel fermentation combined with secondary malolatic fermentation produced a wine with creamy texture and fresh citrus flavor. These were further developed by aging in seasoned French oak.

Tasting Note

The Greg Norman Estates 2006 Chardonnay is pale straw in color with green hues. Aromas of peach and melon gain complexity with subtle oak notes. These fruit aromas develop across the creamy and smooth palate, supported by subtle oak nuances.

Suggested Food Pairing

Grilled fish with lemon and pepper, or chicken with creamy mushroom sauce.
