2021 Moonambel Blanc

Notes from D&A...
Moonambel is a rural town located in the hilly ranges of the Pyrenees in Western Victoria. Characterised by cool evenings and warm days the summers are generally quite dry. Both the Sauvignon Blanc and the Chardonnay were grown by Taltarni Estate. Going back to our roots here, as this was one of the first wines we produced in 2017. Although it was minus the Chardonnay. We feel that the Chardonnay has added some complexity, texture and mouthfeel. The Sav Blanc (80%) and Chardonnay (20%) were picked and fermented separately. The grapes for both were whole bunch pressed and fermented in a mixture of French oak and in tank. Remaining in these vessels, maturing ‘on lees’ for 9 months. Racked off lees and blended in December, allowed to settle and bottled in January. Bottled unfined, unfiltered, with no other additives other than a small amount of Sulphur Dioxide before ferment and before bottling.
