Plantagenet Three Lions, Great Southern Chardonnay Australia is a still, dry white wine crafted from 100% Chardonnay grapes. This vibrant yellow-gold wine offers delightful aromas of peach, nectarine, and lemon blossom, with a hint of waxy citrus leaf. Fermented in both stainless steel and French oak, with post-ferment lees ageing and bâtonnage, it delivers a palate of crunchy white nectarine freshness, balanced by a mineral drive, creamy texture, and subtle toasty notes. This versatile wine is perfect for various occasions.

Vinification

The grapes were harvested at night, and then chilled and gently pressed to tank for settling. Some parcels were racked and fermented in stainless steel while others were transferred directly to French oak barriques for fermentation. Fermentation was carried out with select cultured yeast strains at controlled temperatures of 15 to 25°C. Post-ferment, the wine remained on lees, with regular bâtonnage, for several months. Malolactic fermentation was not encouraged. Parcels were then carefully blended to achieve a modern and contemporary style of Chardonnay balancing between bright fruit intensity with complex savoury characters.

Flavour profile

This unoaked Chardonnay presents a vibrant yellow-gold hue, offering a delightful interplay of stone fruit, citrus, and delicate white flowers. The palate delivers crunchy white nectarine freshness, balanced by a mineral drive, creamy texture, and subtle toasty notes.
