Chardonnay 2017

Hand-picked

Hand harvested and cooled overnight before gentle whole bunch pressing. Juice run to a selection of the finest French oak barrels (50% new) for indigenous fermentation with periodic lees stirring at the end of fermentation.

Half the barrels were allowed to complete malolactic fermentation as temperatures warmed in the spring. All of the wine was left to rest on the yeast lees for a total of 10 months in barrel before a light fining and filtration.

“Bostock have hit the ground running with this first release of a new Hawke's Bay label. Silken-textured chardonnay with white peach, ginger, bran biscuit, and hazelnut flavours. An attractive wine with impressive power that's delivered with consummate subtlety. ”
