Acta Non Verba Chardonnay 2022
€32,50 (incl. BTW)
This limited release Chardonnay is selected from the Anvers estate vineyard situated in the premium Adelaide Hills wine region. Hand picking, gentle whole bunch pressing and a natural fermentation in new and old French oak barrels has produced a wine of great complexity. Bright fruit aromas reminiscent of white nectarines are overlaid with hints of nougat and cashew, which lead to a creamy, finely textured palate with a long and persistent finish. Only 4,800 bottles of this exclusive, hand crafted wine were produced. Grapes for this wine are all from Anvers Razorback Road vineyard in the Southern Adelaide Hills. Grapes are hand-picked in the cool of the morning. The grapes are not crushed but whole bunch air bag pressed. The juice is run to French oak barrels and the hard pressings are not included. A natural or “wild’ fermentation is carried out in barrel. Only very fine grain French oak barrels are used of low to medium toast. 25% new oak barrels, the remainder 1–3-year-old French oak. Following fermentation, the wine is left of lees in barrel and the lees stirred fortnightly. The wine slowly undergoes a natural malolactic fermentation. After 9 months a selection is made of the best barrels for the Tomorrowland Chardonnay and the wine is racked out of barrel and bottled.
