tasting notes product
Yering Station Reserve Chardonnay
vintage
2012
colour
Bright, light straw with green tints
nose
Classic white peach/pear with citrus undertones. Delicate cinnamon spice compliment the toasty barrel fermentation creaminess.
palate
Pristine and complex, the fruit centre expresses purity and focus. Grapefruit minerality combined with toasty oak spices enhance a very long, elegant finish.
winemaker comment A wonderful vintage where the fruit was able to ripen to maturity in cool conditions. Low yielding from 12-28 year old vines, only the best batches and selected barrels make it into the reserve program. We identify parcels that express regional personality and display purity, concentration and minerality.
