FARM to TABLE 2021 Chardonnay
Strathbogie Ranges, Victoria, Australia
PHILOSOPHY
The Fowles family is very committed to ethical and sustainable viticultural practices, as well as hunting and living off the 800 acre expanse they occupy in this remote region, Matt Fowles launched the Farm to Table range of wines to help promote this deep connection to the land.
VINEYARD
All of the fruit is sourced from Fowles estate vineyards in the super cool-climate Strathbogie Ranges of Central Victoria at an elevation of over 1600 feet. The Chardonnay was harvested during the cool of the evening to ensure fruit temperature is low to preserve primary fruit flavors.
Vintage Comments: The fruit was harvested at various times throughout the 2021 season. Cool conditions and gradual ripening produced Chardonnay spanning the full spectrum of flavor from citrus to tropical. This wine will age gracefully.
CELLAR
A significant portion of this wine was matured in French oak puncheons which are normally reserved for only our finest wines. The low yields creating a small blend of this wine means the percentage coming from stainless steel tanks is relatively small.
PH 3.59 T/A 6.8 g/L Alc 12.7%
