Signature Series, limited production Reserve Chardonnay 2006. Yarra Valley estate grown, produced and bottled. The 'Gully' Chardonnay is made from a select block of 25 year old vines growing on a west facing slope behind the Long Gully Estate Winery building. Yields are kept intentionally low and the fruit is hand picked to maximise quality on delivery to the winery. Our harvest criteria is based on fruit flavour. When we taste grapefruit, citrus and green pear, it’s ready to go. Entirely barrel fermented in 50% new french oak, the wine underwent 100% malolactic fermentation with fortnightly lees stirring. We are striving for a wine that has a tight, linear palate complexly layered and texturally generous. The palate delivers driving grapefruit, pear and white peach fruit with a fine line of acidity. The oak provides a backdrop of nutmeg and spice to the oatmeal and grapefruit pith characters in the mouth. Sounds good enough to drink! This wine will reward those patient enough to allow it to develop over atleast the next 5 years.
