Mount Mary Chardonnay 2006 (Yarra Valley)

Mount Mary Vineyards aim to make a Chardonnay with great length, which reaches a balance between richness and elegance. While some techniques are borrowed from the Burgundians, there are some departures from traditional practice in response to local factors, which ensures a unique wine. The most notable of these is that their Chardonnay does not undergo malolactic fermentation, as the local climate leaves the fruit with ideal acidity when it is picked.

"A complex bouquet, with some barrel ferment oak inputs leading the way; the palate is tightly focused, pure and very long, the accent entirely on the stone fruit and citrus fruit; lean and lissom."
