Jacobs Creek - Semillon Chardonnay 2008 75cl Bottle

• Jacobs Creek - Semillon Chardonnay 2008 75cl Bottle White Wine Colour: Vibrant pale green straw. Bouquet: Attractive lemon citrus and melon aromas with nuances of peach. Palate: Lively zesty palate displaying rich lemon citrus and melon fruit flavours. Soft and approachable the crisp acidity adds length and balance to the palate. Vintage Conditions: Dry conditions were experienced throughout winter and carried into the length of the growing season. This continued the trend of dry weather that much of South Eastern Australia has experienced over the past three years. Vines were carefully managed in order to maintain healthy canopies using viticultural techniques such as supplementary irrigation. Due to the dry conditions throughout the ripening period, disease pressure remained low. The fruit was harvested in the cool of the night at temperatures below 15 degrees Celsius to minimise the pick up of phenolics and help preserve the attractive varietal fruit characters. Winemaking: Regular block visits by our winemakers and viticulturists during ripening ensured the selection of quality fruit parcels for inclusion in the 2008 Jacob's Creek Semillon Chardonnay. Grapes that displayed fresh varietal characters such as lemon citrus and melon were picked in the cool of the night to minimise phenolic pick up. Fruit was delivered to the winery where it was crushed and pressed with care, avoiding excessive skin contact. The juice was then clarified and fermented with selected yeast strains at cool temperatures. This helped ensure the attractive varietal fruit flavours seen in the vineyard were captured in the final wine. Once blended the wine was stabilised, clarified and bottled under anaerobic conditions.
