Tyrrell’s Wines, Chardonnay Vat 47 2006

Tyrrell’s is a pioneer of the Hunter Valley and continues to set the benchmark for the region. The 2006 Vat 47 Chardonnay is primarily sourced from the Short Flat and HVD vineyards. It undergoes barrel fermentation in one-third of new oak without malolactic fermentation, with some batonnage. This Chardonnay presents intense aromas of toasted tropical notes, pineapple, poached apricots, and warm grapefruit. Medium-bodied, it is crisp, fresh, with a touch of silky richness and a long finish.
