The Tumbarumba Chardonnay was sourced from a high altitude vineyard located near the town of Tumbarumba located at the base of the Snowy Mountains in NSW. The growing season started slowly with a cool spring and had strategically timed rain during the generally warm dry growing season
The Chardonnay grapes were machine harvested at night and then transported to our Hunter Valley winery and processed into an airbag press. The juice was drained directly to new French oak barrels and fermented with a variety of yeast strains. The wine was held in new barrels for approximately 4 months prior to fining, stabilisation and bottling.
