Moorooduc Chardonnay 2020

14% abv

Vol- 75cl

Elegant yet powerful, pale gold with lemon and nectarine fruit with slight salty hints and some notes spice and cedar. White peach and lemon dominate the palate with a touch of toasted brioche and salted popcorn. Crisp and elegant with a terrific finish.

“This 2020 Moorooduc Chardonnay is spicy and taut, with a mineral line of austerity that strikes through its very heart. Licorice root, arnica, alpine herbs, marigold, peach, apple skins and preserved lemon waft out of the glass. In the mouth, the wine comes together like a picture taking shape, pixel by pixel. The fruit falls into an orderly line across the palate and sails through into a long finish. It’s a very smart, classy wine.” 2022 – 2032
93 Points, Erin Larkin, The Wine Advocate, Nov 2022

The fruit comes mainly from the McIntyre Vineyard with a little from Robinson Vineyard.
Hand harvested with whole bunch pressing. 100% wild yeast barrel fermented in French oak of which 20% is new and then matured for 10 months on lees in the wood with 1 racking prior to bottling. Light fining and filtration.

Good stock

Established in 1982 by Dr Richard and Jill McIntyre, Moorooduc Estate is a small, family run wine business that has developed an enviable reputation for complex and food friendly wines. They were amongst the very earliest grape prospectors to see the potential for making great Pinot Noir and Chardonnay on the Mornington Peninsula.

These days they have been joined by their highly talented Master of Wine daughter Kate. Their philosophy in everything is to make the most of top-quality ingredients. Intensive, hands-on care in the three vineyards (one belonging to the family, one to a family friend and one to their viticulturalist) produces the best possible fruit for their wines. Land is organically dry farmed with minimal use of chemicals, Wild yeast ferments and minimal intervention winemaking, with a nod to traditional Burgundian techniques, allow their wines to express their site specificity, or terroir. Production is only around 5000 cases annually.
