The generously proportioned, big boned, leesy French oak genre, Dijon Bernard Clones 76 and 95, harvested off fully mature vines, thirty years of age at Charleston in the Adelaide Hills. Grapes are destemmed and pressed for vinification on gross solids before transfer to French oak hogsheads for completion of ferments, in the old world way. Treated to lees stirring and partial malolactic for textural opulence and palate richness, its creamy grapefruit nougat palate will appeal to enthusiasts of the medium to full bodied white meat styles of Chardonnay.
Vibrant, fresh hues. Elegant pungent nose, pineapples and grapefruit, cashew and lime. A fully flavoursome palate of great intensity, drive and length, grapefruit zests are followed by cashews and white peach, all held together by its tight mineral acidity, the lemon curd creaminess of malolactic, superbly balanced around its length of seamlessly integrated, high quality oak.

About Cape Barren Wines
Cape Barren Wines create generous and profound wines, sourced from some of South Australia's finest vineyard sites
Located in the renowned McLaren Vale region of South Australia, the Cape Barren vineyards benefit from the unique maritime climate of long warm summers cooled by afternoon ocean breezes, ideal conditions for grapes destined for full-bodied red wines. Starting from humble beginnings with the first vintage in 1999, Cape Barren Wines is the result of a 35 year friendship between Peter Matthews, who has 30 years experience in executive Sales and General Management, and Brian Ledgard, a third generation grape grower, and their lifelong interest in vineyards and wine. Their ambition was and is, to produce full bodied wine of uncompromised quality and excellence. Cape Barren»
