LADIES WHO SHOOT THEIR LUNCH 2021 “Wild Ferment” Chardonnay
Victoria, Australia
Fowles Wine vineyards and winery are located in the dramatic granite landscape of Strathbogie Ranges region of Victoria, Australia. The Strathbogie Ranges is characterized by massive granite boulders – the very boulders that have given rise, over millions of years, to the sandy loam soils in which the vines grow.
VINEYARD
The fruit from the Greenstone vineyard is grown on vines over 35 years old and provide the lovely mid palate peachy fruits in our wild fermented Chardonnay. The Strathbogie component is from our Upton Run block 16 and provides a rich mineral complexity.
Vintage Comments: 2021 was one of those rare vintages with both a plentiful harvest and one of incredible quality and flavor. The Chardonnay enjoyed the cooler conditions at various times throughout the season. Gradual ripening allowing fruit to span the full spectrum of flavors from citrus through to tropical.
CELLAR
All fruit was picked in the cool of the early morning and processed immediately so to protect the subtle varietal flavors, then left to wild ferment in oak barrels
