Nocturne Treeton Chardonnay
A vibrant White wine with elegant white stone fruit, citrus, and a refreshing zesty acidity
Nocturne Treeton Chardonnay from Margaret River, Western Australia, Australia. This exquisite White (Blanc) Still Dry wine is crafted entirely from Chardonnay grapes. The winemaking involves whole bunch pressing and ageing on lees in puncheons for nine months, with spontaneous fermentation by indigenous yeasts. It presents a pale green straw colour, bursting with aromas of white stone fruits and gun flint, complemented by a refreshing saline note. The palate is elegantly restrained, showcasing citrus and white peach characters, supported by a zesty, sherbet-like acidity and a fine phenolic structure. This vegetarian-friendly wine is perfect with roasted poultry, lean fish, or creamy pasta dishes.

Vinification
The grapes were entirely hand picked and whole bunch pressed directly to new, one and two year old puncheons with a few barriques included as well. The wine is not settled nor fined. It is allowed to undergo spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, which started on day three after pressing. After a four week fermentation, the wine remained on gross lees un-sulphured until September 2022. In the November, the wine was emptied from barrel, settled, filtered and bottled.
