Bellarmine Chardonnay 2008

Pemberton

Bellarmine jugs were used throughout the middle ages to carry wine from oak cask to table. The terroirs and clime around the Bellarmine vineyard at Pemberton are a Chardonnay maker's dream come true. The soils are red gravel laterite which provide excellent drainage while providing warmth to the vine root systems at night, courtesy of the sunshine that the gravels have absorbed during the day. "A rare find! Occasionally a wine jumps out of the glass, grabs me by the throat so forcefully that I'm desperate to make it the centrepiece of an article!" -Sunday Times

Juices are gently pressed off skins and separated from the harder fraction so that the pressings can be fined prior to re-combining with the free run for fermentation. All components are cold settled over forty eight hours then racked to tank away from the solid lees for inoculation. After a few days, a portion is transferred to oak for fermentation, the remainder being vinified in tank. Fermentations are carefully temperature controlled to achieve a gradual drop in sugar levels and to retain the maximum possible flavours. Upon completion, the wines are batonage stirred on yeast lees to give some extra complexity and a touch of creaminess to the wine. Matured in a selection of new and seasoned French oak barrels

Pale yellow colour. Green apple, nectarines, subtle oak and attractive bready characters on the bouquet. Full complex palate with ripe apple, nectarine, and peach flavours. Subtle spicy oak, tight acidity, a slightly creamy texture with minerality and a crisp clean finish. A lightly wooded dry white wine made in the Chablis style. Enjoy with crispy skin roast chicken and good wet cheese. "A complex nose of cashews, barrel ferments and savarin alight on a creamily textured mouthfeel where lively sweet harmonies develop around hints of fleshy peach, cantaloupes and pear. Pavlovas, lemon and vanilla follow through to the palate, which is rich, round and full with nice acidity, length and persistence!" -RieslingRider.com

Harvested at optimum flavour levels when the tannins are ripe and the seeds are brown, determined by the winemaker taking regular samples in the vineyard. Fruit is managed carefully to ensure a maximum yield of five tonnes per hectare, to achieve even ripeness and maximum quality potential. Crushed and destemmed gently to allow some whole berries through into the ferment, the must is inoculated with a neutral yeast. Once the cap of skins has risen, the juice is pumped over the skins twice daily so that colour and flavour is extracted from the skins as the ferment cools. Once complete, the wine is racked and seeded with malolactic bacteria. Matured fourteen months in new French oak barriques. Approx 15.0%

Deep purple red. Rich ripe aromas of mulberry and chocolate with spicy oak and plum fruit characters. Rich and savoury plum and berry fruit on the palate are supported by fine tannins. In the Rhone style, a rich yet elegant, cool climate dry red Shiraz. "Black/ strawberry/ cherry characters are interwoven with hints of coffee, mocha and bitter chocolate, while the fresh ground pepper and liqueured fruit are enhanced by lightly toasted, cedar oak. The finish is long and shows exemplary balance, a velvet mouthfeel and gently drying tannins!" -QueSyrahSyrah.net, "Leads with its nose, juicy meaty and slightly herbal palate is presaged by a swell of fragrances, ripe black cherry and cigarbox, coffee and spice!" -Tastesofwines.com

Vineyard soils are red gravel laterite and vines are trained to vertical shoot positioning. Grapes are harvested in the cool of the night at optimum flavour levels. Vinified from the first free run juices taken after the initial crush and from the light pressing of skins. The latter component contributes greater depth of ripe flavours which suit the slightly sweeter style. Fermented in tank at cool temperatures so that oak is avoided and the natural expression of fruit is optimised. Sudden chilling of the tank occurs when the wine has only about one baume of sugar left to convert into alcohol. This stops the yeast cells and achieves the slightly sweeter palate so very appealing to enthusiasts of complex and engaging Riesling wines

Pale straw colour. Lime and spice on the bouquet. Aromatic, slightly sweet, yet crisp, elegant white wine. Perfectly palate balanced and with elegant lime flavours. Enjoy this captivating style with moreton bay bugs or WA marron in a mornay cheese sauce. "A clean, perfumed nose of musk, floral notes, stonefruit and citrus. Very good balance between some slightly tangy acid and the sweetness from some residual sugar on the palate. Good length, and very easy and enjoyable to drink!" -Appellation Australia, "Ripe fruit salads on the bouquet, especially oranges, lychee and a counterpoint of lemon pith. Just a hint of powder, quartz and mineral water on the palate, showing great complexity and depth!" -Pinotfiles.com
