Type: White wine
Winery: Cumulus Wines
Country: Australia
Variety: Chardonnay
Features
It comes from a relatively young area within the Australian outlook, Central Ranges. It is elaborated by Cumulus Wines, a winery owned the Portuguese family Berardo, which it is famous for a constant technologic innovation and its high precision in all elaboration stages.
Fruit is harvested during early cold hours. When they come at the winery, grapes are pressed softly. Grape juice is paled to leave a little quantity of solids and the fermentation starts into 15-18 degrees. After fermenting, wine is shoaked on yeast lees for some months to promote the resulting yeast autolysis, which give the creamy and smooth taste of wine. Only a little portion of the mixture is fermenting and aging with French oak.
Tasting
View: Beautiful yellow colour with bright lemon glitter, very bright.
Nose: Remarkable intensity. Fresh stone fruits aroma (white peach and apricot), lemon, melon and tropical fruits (lichee and passion fruit), with superposition of creamy notes and yeast taste typical from the fresh Chardonnay climate.
Mouth: The crunchy citricus skeleton accepts ripe melon tastes on palate. The palate sensation with texture, smooth and oak suggestion adds weight and lenght on the palate. Large, some greasy and a very good integrated, heavy sharpness which confers freshness. It finishes with a large and pleasant fruit finish, leaving spicy and citricus peel memories.
