An oaky Chardonnay where the oak is nicely integrated with the wine’s fruit flavours. Victoria Chardonnay has aromas of lemon meringue and cooked lemons. It is soft and supple on the palate with fresh fruit flavours and a long crisp finish. Produced from Vicky’s selection of Chardonnay grapes from the eight hectares planted on the estate, half the wine was fermented in tank, half fermented and matured with oak.
