Winery Tasting Notes
Colour
Bright yellow colour and brilliant clarity make this wine sparkle on the table.
Aroma
This Chardonnay has an intense bouquet of ripe honey dew melon with buttery cream and obvious toasty oak finishing with a nutty complexity and rich toffee caramel character.
Palate
The palate is full-bodied with gripping tannins and obvious oak intensity. The fruit is ripe and round with malo-lactic fermentation adding distinct hazelnut richness. The relatively high alcohol gives a warm, sweet sensation to the mouthfeel that adds to the creamy texture and lingers on the back palate. Vanilla spice and toasty oak combine with earthy characters to round out the finish.
Food Matching
This Chardonnay should be enjoyed lightly chilled. It has the body weight and texture to handle richly flavoured meats and sauces. It’s ideal with BBQ chicken, veal and pork cutlets. Or try it with spicy chicken rissoles or whole baked Barramundi marinated in lemon juice and olive oil … delicious! Serve cool but not too cold to get the full aroma and flavour.
Cellaring Potential
I’ve released this wine now after 16 months maturation because I think it will be delightful drinking over the spring and summer months with a combination of youth and complexity however it will cellar for up to 6 years under the right conditions.
Winery Profile
Hope Estate wines express the deep individuality of our land and vines. All our wines are estate grown, we never dilute our character with other people’s fruit. So we bring you uniquely regional styles of wine.
The finesse and elegance that comes from the red Hunter soil. The European-style subtlety of our Victorian vineyards. And the length and concentrated fruit that only Western Australian maritime climate vineyards can create.
The Hunter has our largest vineyards, focused on the varieties that the region does best: Shiraz, Semillon, Chardonnay and Verdelho.
Our Kyneton vineyards produce intense flavours from low-yield vines. Its most famous product is Virgin Hills, a wine of remarkable Old World finesse that James Halliday nominated as his ‘desert island wine’.
Our Donnybrook vineyard in WA is best known for The Ripper and The Cracker, two vivid fruit-driven reds that are among our most popular wines.
Hope Estate wines are sought-after overseas, with much of our product taken by discerning US and UK buyers.
You can experience Hope Estate’s wines at our cellar door 7 days a week. We’re just re-working our web site right now, so the web store will be off-line for a few weeks. If you’d like to place an order, download the form here Order Form – Feb 2016 and email or fax. Cheers!
