Description
From the famed Yarra Valley, Pacha Mama Chardonnay is a creamy, oaky drop of white wine goodness that'll rock your tastebuds, rather than the ground underfoot - depending on how quickly you down the entire bottle, that is. White peach, cashews and a cutting acidity make it a Chardonnay for any time of the day and a truly complex, yet drinkable delight.

Vinification
All our Chardonnay fruit is hand picked in the cool of the morning, gently whole bunch pressed, settle overnight and racked to barrels for fermentation. All parcels underwent wild fermentation, further enhancing the complexity and individuality of the final wine. Following fermentation, the wine remained on yeast lees with occasional stirring for up to 10 months to add further layers and texture to the palate.
Maturation
Fermentation and maturation in 20% new French oak puncheons and the remainder in 2-5 year old French oak barriques and puncheons.
Appearance
Pale straw lemon.
Aroma
Freshly roasted nuts mingle with stone fruits and bright lemon curd to create a delicious nose that makes it impossible not to follow up with a sip.
Palate
Delicate oak and crisp acidity complement the vibrant grapefruit and plush white peaches that dominate the palate. The soft integrated oak and natural acidity of the wine work together to create perfect harmony.
Food Matching
Cauliflower, aged cheddar and mustart fritters.
