Josef Chromy Tasmania Chardonnay Australia 75cl

The Josef Chromy Chardonnay 2023 was created using hand-picked fruit, picked when cold and then gently whole bunch pressed. The free-run juice is then collected and settled overnight before being barrelled in French oak barriques; of which, approximately 25% are new each year. Then, a portion of the juice is set to wild yeast fermentation, and the balance is inoculated with three yeast strains to accentuate the fruit, texture and weight.

The wines texture, savoury undertones and structure are greatly attriubuted to partial malolactic fermentation and gentle barrel stirring early on, and the wine was also ages for seven months on full lees in barrels, to further develop complexity and maintain freshness. The wine was then bottled in early 2024.

Can be drank immediately or cellared up to 10 years, however we would expect the flavour of the wine to have fully developed after 2 years.
