Tasting Notes for Angove Organic Chardonnay 2020 from the Winery

Light straw with pale green hues, aromas of white peach, citrus and melon flavours combine with savoury oak on the nose. On the palate the wine has a pleasing texture and good length with a clean finish.

VINEYARD
Angove Organic Chardonnay is sourced from organically certified vineyards in the Riverland and McLaren Vale regions of South Australia.

Vintage in most of Australia’s wine region was late and drawn out after a cool Spring meant many varieties started their growing season later than had been the case for the past 5 years. Cool weather continued through January and February and careful attention in the vineyard was needed to ensure picking occurred at peak flavour ripeness.

WINEMAKING

Picked late at night to harvest the grapes as cold as possible the grapes were transported to the winery and pressed using modern membrane tank presses. After cold settling the clear juice was carefully racked to cooled fermentation tanks and inoculated with selected yeasts. Cool fermentation was followed by minimal handling fi ltration and bottling at the Angove winery
