Contour Chardonnay Adelaide Hills, 2018

Subtle white fruits, pineapple and vanilla lead to an elegant palate. Chardonnay grapes were grown at the Tregarthen Vineyard in Kuitpo. Grapes were gently pressed, and the free-run juice fermented separately from the pressings. 40% of the juice was put to new oak and 60% to three-year-old French oak, and the wine allowed to go through a full malolactic fermentation. It is supple with fresh fruit and was left on lees for extra creamy texture.
