Genie 2025 Chardonnay

Notes from the winemaker, Jeanie!
Rosnay Organic Vineyard Canowindra Chardonnay. ⅓ hand picked whole bunch ⅔ destemmed fermented on skins for 6 days with gentle footstomp/pigeage daily. Pressed into stainless steel to finish off wild ferment and then transferred into old oak barrels another 5 days later to settle/age and complete malolactic fermentation. Bottled by gravity 6 months later with a tiny amount of sulfur added before bottling. Herbaceous, well rounded with lots of grip, some dried fruit notes and a nice caramel finish.
