Ashbrook Chardonnay

A meticulously crafted Chardonnay that strikes the perfect balance between purity and complexity. Half of the wine undergoes primary fermentation in new French oak barriques, lending it a subtle yet refined oak influence, while the other half remains in stainless steel to preserve its pristine fruit character. Left to mature on fine lees for eight months, the wine retains a beautiful textural finesse without undergoing malolactic fermentation, ensuring freshness and drive. The final blend is cellared for a further 12 months, allowing it to integrate seamlessly. Expect a sculpted combination of white peach, citrus zest, and a touch of toasted hazelnut, all wrapped in a taut, elegant frame. Refined yet expressive, with outstanding aging potential.
