Tilbrook Estate Reserve Chardonnay 2021
This wine offers aromas and flavors of white peach, lemon curd, citrus blossom, and flowers. Its elegant mid-palate features crème brûlée, butterscotch, and a crisp acidity for balance. Best enjoyed now through 2025.
Consistently recognized as one of Australia's top Chardonnays, it’s crafted from fruit handpicked from our Estate Lenswood vineyard and a friend's Charleston vineyard. The grapes were cooled overnight before being gently whole-bunch pressed. The finest juice was placed in new 300L oak barrels from Burgundian cooperages Damy, while the remainder went into older barrels. Fermentation with wild yeasts was followed by lees stirring, and malolactic fermentation was partially induced to convert about one-third of the malic acid into lactic acid. This process aimed to achieve creaminess and complexity while retaining natural acidity. After a year, the wine was blended and aged for an additional month to harmonize the fruit and oak flavors.
