Cullen Kevin John Chardonnay 2022

Chardonnay | Margaret River, Western Australia, Australia

This wine is harvested in Kevin John’s 100th birth year. Harvested from 3 separate Wente clone chardonnay blocks, planted in 1976 and 1988, on their own roots, yielding 1.8 tonnes per hectare.

Hand Harvested around the biodynamic calendar over 8 different harvest times from the 3rd to the 21st February. The fermentation took place in 50%  new biodynamic puncheons, where it was left to mature for a further 6 months. Battonage during fermentation and no fining filtration or cold stabilisation to bottle.

Colour:  Brilliant straw with strong green tinges

Bouquet:  Lemon and sea spray mist, lime flowers and kaffir lime, dried pear and fig

Palate:  Crunchy vibrant mineral acidity which keeps the flavours, lingering on and on with a back palate of lemon sherbet kicking in to enliven the experience. Dried pear, orange blossom, balance and poise, what a great symphony of flavours coming together all at once on the taste buds.

Food:  Crab, prawns, chicken

Cellar:  Enjoy now or for up to 15 years
