Fermentation in French oak barrels; a combination of 228 L barriques and some 500 L puncheons, 30% new oak. Both wild yeasts and cultured yeast were allowed to carry out the fermentation offering complexity and a hint of wet stone. Natural acidity was retained by inhibiting malolactic fermentation. Maturation for 10 months in our cool underground cellar before blending and bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVines: \u003c\/strong\u003eThe two original Chardonnay blocks, planted in 1969 (clone unknown), and more recent plantings of clones 95 and 548 were impressive enough to add to the blend.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCellaring: \u003c\/strong\u003eShy as a youngster, a few years in bottle will build weight with careful cellaring for up to 10 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage 2020: \u003c\/strong\u003eA challenging year began with unstable weather during flowering resulting in a poor fruit set. A dry summer followed with devastating bushfires in many viticultural regions but lucky for us, the Yarra Valley was spared this time. Late January brought a drop in temperature and regular rainfall. The wines from 2020 have a lot of grace, a cooler season, and light crop presents in their fragrance, medium weight, and bright acid line.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yarra Yering","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45630868357368,"sku":"9331","price":110.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0697\/2712\/5752\/files\/yarra-yering-chardonnay-2020_80928010-d5c0-48a6-9738-76f7a9d0b583.png?v=1737984543","url":"https:\/\/checkout.reservecellar.com.au\/products\/yarra-yering-chardonnay-2020","provider":"Reserve Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
