The legendary Sorrenberg of Victoria's Beechworth region has an almost mythical status, with their wines some of the most sought-after in Australia. The newly released 2022 Sorrenberg Chardonnay has been highly anticipated and our very limited stocks are sure to sell out fast.
Bio-dynamic Sorrenberg Chardonnay is 100% barrel fermented in French oak with 25-30% of this being new oak. To add complexity to the wine all of it goes through natural yeast fermentation, as well as complete malo-lactic fermentation. This wine received extended lees contact for ten months with weekly stirring. Then a further eight months barrel maturation.
"The longer time in barrel restricts this wines openness for a few months so be patient. Minimal handling and filtration ensures maximum flavour is retained. The aromas of melon with citrus peel undertones follow onto the palate of the 2022 Chardonnay, creating a lively and vibrant wine with good length and a defined finish."- Barry Moray, Winemaker
