2023 Water Wheel Chardonnay

Just 20 minutes north of Bendigo, Water Wheel is known for producing some of the region's most exciting wines. The wine features a flinty, cereal aroma and a rich, honeysuckle-filled palate, showcasing the quality of the fruit and wild yeast fermentation. It is fermented and matured in large-format French oak.
Barrel fermented in French oak puncheons and demi muid. Brilliant pale straw to straw colour with greenish toned edges and a watery hue. Aromas of ripe peach and tropical fruit are followed by melon, hints of honeysuckle and biscuity oak. Rich and broadly textured across the palate with a creamy feel, ripe peach and honeycomb flavours are married to toasty oak and spice elements. Brisk acidity enlivening the toasty oak and spice laden finish.
Drink over the next 1-2 years.
