Margan Chardonnay 2009

NOTES

The Hunter Valley produces some of the most regionally unique styles of wine in the world. Every variety grown has its own unique set of characters and structure that are affected significantly by the climate they enjoy, the soil they are produced from and the winemaking style I prefer. The quality of Margan is controlled from the vineyard right through to the consumer.

All of the wines are produced from Margan’s old vine, low yielding vineyards. The volcanic soils of the Fordwich Sill that nourish our vines produce excellent quality grapes that achieve optimal ripeness of flavour, colour and tannin. The wines have great texture, structure and richness which are a true expression of the vineyard they come from. Margan produce a richer, softer Hunter style of wine.

TASTING NOTES

A gold green in colour, this wine provides a multi-layered complexity both on the nose and palate.  The nose combines the perfumed richness with ripe tropical fruit and integrated vanillan oak. The palate is soft, rich, and full showing structure and a lingering acid finish. As the wine ages the palate will increase in strength and weight and the wine will improve over the next five years. The rich soft fruit flavours also allow for early consumption.   This wine should cellar well for 5 years.
