Patrick Sullivan Baw Baw Chardonnay 2023

The fruit was hand-harvested into 15kg baskets and transferred to the winery. Whole clusters were crushed into the press and drained off into a tank for settling. Primary fermentation took place in barrique (30% new) over three weeks, followed by complete malolactic fermentation. Lees stirring occurred twice towards the end of primary fermentation, then once more at the completion of malolactic fermentation.

A nose filled with candied lime, citrus blossom and a hint of toasted brioche. The palate is complex and richly intertwined, extremely mineral with an understated power. Precise lime, marmalade and an absolute pleasure to drink many times over.
