Zonzo Estate Chardonnay 750ml

Zonzo Estate is located in the heart of the Yarra Valley, 2km West of Yarra Glen. The Yarra River runs along the southern boundary and has influenced the formation of the rolling hills the vines are planted on today.

The soils are varied as a result of the Yarra River’s activity over the centuries. Featuring predominantly grey loams to grey brown with mudstone throughout. Approximately 90m above sea level the vineyard was planted in 1995.

Currently the vineyard is undergoing a transformation with renewed vigour to express the site and varieties through the production of quality small batch wines in the newly built winery.

An elegant Yarra Valley Chardonnay with notes of crunchy pear, citrus and white flowers with freshness and vibrancy. The palate is layered and textured with a bright fresh finish. Texture also plays a part in knitting together all the elements to give great persistence and length on the palate.

Hand Picked. Whole bunch pressed to tank. Chilled and settled for 2 days then racked to oak including solids. Wild ferment commenced in oak after 3 days and was completed within 12 days. Approximately one third went through malolactic fermentation.
