Wine Details
Helmsman Chardonnay 2020 6x75cl
Central Ranges Australia
Stone fruit, fig and subtle citrus flavours, balanced by toasty oak.
Vineyards
Containing some of the higher, cooler vineyard sites in the state, the Central Ranges is an important and recently designated wine-growing zone. It is sometimes better known for the regions it comprises: running north to south along the western slopes of the Great Dividing Range (and in descending order of size): Mudgee, Orange and Cowra.
Vintage
With losses due to smoke or fire damage in some area, meant yields were low, but of the regions unaffected the quality of the grapes is high
Winemaking
The fermentation takes place partially in tanks and oak barrels, which enables the oak to play a supporting role without overpowering the delicate fruit character.
