RED CENTRE TASTING NOTES

2006 Organic Chardonnay Notes:
After harvesting in the cool of dawn the winemaker and cellar crew worked
meticulously to ensure that the juice was handled as gently as possible,
avoiding oxidation and maintaining freshness. Cold settling of the juice at
1oC for a week ensured a crystal clear juice was admitted to fermentation.
Different vineyard parcels were fermented with different yeast strains to
add a layer of complexity to the wine. The wine has been held in temperature
controlled vessels throughout its life at 10-12oC to maintain freshness and
avoid premature aging. This wine displays a distinctive elegance and clarity
of fruit. The colour is a vibrant straw, while the bouquet is of citrus
blossom and melon over a hint of freshly kneaded dough.  The palate again
shows a citrus and melon fruit flavours with a rich and creamy texture which
is viscous and mouth-filling.  The wine finishes crisp and clean with zesty
acidity. This is a fresh and lively wine to enjoy on its own, or match it
with all manner of seafood.
