2021 Flametree SRS Chardonnay

The SRS Chardonnay was barrel fermented in 40% new French puncheons and then aged for 9 months. This wine shows lovely purity and freshness of fruit together with some savoury notes from the solids and wild ferment. Classic grapefruit and dried pear fruits give way to barrel ferment complexities. These contribute a lovely savoury oyster shell or saline character, giving the wine greater complexity and overall purity, and ultimately complementing many modern Australian food flavours.
