Tasting Notes
The Patroness Chardonnay 2023 presents a captivating mid-straw colour with subtle green hues. Inviting aromas of toasty brioche and ripe peaches are immediately enticing on the nose. The palate is layered and sophisticated, delivering a smooth, creamy finish with notes of stone fruit and a gentle textural oak tannin. The wine's balanced acidity enhances its length and structure makes a perfect pairing for Coq au Vin.

Vintage Summary

The 2022/2023 Adelaide Hills growing season posed challenges for grape growers, with wet conditions early on, making vineyard access difficult and impacting disease management. Cold and wet weather delayed growth, but improved conditions in December aided fruit development. A dry remainder of the season reduced disease concerns, allowing healthy canopies and early ripening. Cooler autumn weather extended harvest into late April-May, yielding wines of exceptional quality that reflect the region's renowned standards.

Maturation: 

Matured in combination of new & one year old 100% French Oak for eight months. Weekly battonage helped create a full and creamy mouthfeel and balance out acidity.
