KANGARILLA ROAD 2021 CHARDONNAY

2024 Kangarilla Road
Adelaide Hills Chardonnay
A lingering summer ensured minimal disease
and optimal ripening conditions for Vintage 2024
for the Adelaide Hills. However, conditions
during flowering severely impacted the season
outcome as poor set generally resulted in
diminished crops. Summer was unusually cool
and dry allowing long even ripening for the
grapes to develop intense aromas and flavours
The fruit was sourced from a single Adelaide Hills
vineyard. Our Chardonnay is a fresh modern
Australian style, citrus driven and complemented by
the subtle use of new French oak. The oak
component is unobtrusive yet critical to the overall
aroma and texture.
Total Acidity g/L 6.95
Alcohol % 12.5
pH 3.30
Bottling Date September 2024

Lively fresh aromas of nashi pear, custard apple and
lychee demand your attention. Delightful
appearances of perfumed lemon myrtle, sweet white
peach and glimpses of Madagascar vanilla extract lift
and enhance.
On the palate it is all about the loveliness of all
things lemon meringue pie combined with notes of
lemon sherbet, ripe candy melon and slightly
herbaceous lemon thyme.
