Ferngrove Estate Chardonnay 2008

NOTES

This 5 star James Halliday winery is situated in Frankland River, some 360kms south of Perth in Western Australia, and was established in 1998 by Ferngrove founder Murray Burton.  Murray's faith in this unique vineyard region was well founded.  Thanks to its location 90kms from the coast, between the cooling influence of the converging Southern and Indian oceans, the region has a cool climate that allows grapes to ripen with remarkable consistency from year to year.  Delivering fruit and thus wine with characteristic delicacy and clear varietal character.

Ferngrove has established a reputation as a premium wine producer in the Frankland River region, and the winery is fast becoming recognised for its production of outstanding, cool climate wines from estate-grown fruit.

Pale green in colour with a bouquet of grapefruit and stonefruit aromas with distinct lime tang complemented by hints of lifted biscuit oak. The palate is full of flavoursome citrus fruits with nectarine and spice. Textured and complex palate with a clean finish.
