Vintage 2024
2024 Futs de Chene Alexander Shire Chardonnay is textural and full bodied, with subtle new oak undertones and a lingering finish.
Palate: This wine is smooth, textural and full bodied. The new oak is present, buttery and toasted, although it is in balance with the fruit and acidity of the wine. Apple and citrus curd.
Handpicked on 17 March 2024, the whole bunches were pressed to French barriques for ferment. The ferment lasted just over 3 weeks. Partial (30%) malolactive fermentation was allowed in the wine, to enhance roundness and secondary notes. Aged for 9 months in French barriques, 30% of which was new French (Vicard) oak. The wine was not filtered or fined at bottling in mid-December 2024.

The soil is loam, with weathered granitic sands and rock, which make an inimitable site for Riesling and Chardonnay plantings.
Harvest: 17 March 2024 Aged: French barriques, 30% new oak, 9 months Bottled: late December 2024.
