Description

Our 2022 Alessandro Reserve Chardonnay is produced from a blend of our very best barrels of Chardonnay, each hand selected for the unique characteristics and produced from super premium fruit from a vineyard selection in the Hunter Valley, NSW and Langhorne Creek, SA.

Through the artful use of delicate fermentation and battonage, we have been able to harness the generous fruit characters and lively acidity that these two iconic terroirs produce.

Subtle oak intergration from six months in a blend of new and seasoned Francois Frere oak from Saint-Romain in Burgundy, France, gives the wine beautiful balance and complextity which is rich and refined.
