Wine By Nine

White Wine by Green Point from Yarra Valley, Australia. Fruit for the Reserve Yarra Valley Chardonnay was sourced largely from vineyards on the Yarra Valley floor where the alluvial soils and growing conditions provide Chardonnay with great richness. Fruit was also sourced from vineyards in the Upper Yarra where the cooler conditions provide more delicate and fragrant characteristics with greater acid structure. A vibrant pale straw with a green hue. The wine has a fragrant aroma of white peach, lemon butter and honeydew enhanced by subtle, fresh roasted hazelnut and cashew aromas derived from barrel fermentation. On the palate, lemon, grapefruit and white peach flavors provide a racy, fresh entry before leading to a creamy and smooth mid palate. Extended maturation in fine grained French oak barriques adds structure and length to the finish.

White Wine by Giant Steps from Yarra Valley, Australia. Hand picked, sorted and whole bunch pressed with minimal sulphur. Barrel fermented and aged on lees with minimal handling, gravity racking and a gentle filtration prior to bottling 12 months later. Minimal MLF. Bottled with a screw cap. Cool, dry ripening seasons allow us to draw out the palate whilst tightening up the finish. Nose - characteristically complex nectarine, white peach and citrus with underlying secondary cashew and grain meal. Palate - firm, yet creamy textural wine overlayed with minerally lemon zest and nectarine. Very good aging potential.

White Wine by Greg Norman Estates from Yarra Valley, Australia. Greg Norman Estates Victoria Chardonnay is pale straw in color with green hues. Aromas of peach and melon gain complexity with subtle oak notes. These fruit aromas develop across the creamy and smooth palate, supported by subtle oak nuances.
