These carefully selected grapes are then gently cooled overnight, preparing them for a delicate whole bunch pressing, yielding exceptionally high-quality juice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn pursuit of perfection, the juice embarks on a transformative journey within French oak barrels. This orchestra of flavors unfolds within a symphony of barrels, including 228 L barriques and 500 L puncheons, of which 30% are freshly introduced, infusing the wine with a harmonious blend of flavors. To enhance complexity and intrigue, we allow both wild and cultured yeasts to conduct the fermentation, imparting a nuanced hint of wet stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo maintain the wine's inherent natural acidity, we deliberately halt the malolactic fermentation, preserving its vibrancy and character. For a grand total of 10 months, this masterpiece matures in the serene, subterranean depths of our cellar before culminating in a seamless blend, bottled for your pleasure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Chardonnay vines include the two venerable blocks, originally planted in 1969 (their clone remains a mystery) and contemporary clonal selections 95 and 548.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs this wine emerges in its youth, it may appear somewhat reserved, but with the gentle passage of time, it will evolve into a more robust and layered expression. With careful cellaring, it has the potential to flourish for up to a decade.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yarra Yering","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45629921263864,"sku":"11396","price":65.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0697\/2712\/5752\/files\/7217-no_vintage_af73c8ef-528a-41a8-bda1-1c9aa76360f1.png?v=1737979668","url":"https:\/\/checkout.reservecellar.com.au\/products\/yarra-yering-chardonnay-375ml-2021","provider":"Reserve Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
