Helmsman Chardonnay 2022 6x75cl

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

All varieties showed excellent natural acidity from the cooler vintage.

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.
