Giesen Uncharted Chardonnay 2023

Notes of white peach, lemon, toasted hazelnut, and flint on the nose, with ripe lemon and peach flavours, and grapefruit on the finish. The palate is rich and concentrated, with a bright zest balancing the fruit sweetness.

The fruit was picked then immediately pressed at the winery, the juice was settled overnight before being racked to tank and inoculated with selected yeast. It was fermented then matured on French oak for 9 months, using a range of coopers and toasts. This selection was to ensure the wine had subtle oak character which allowed the fruit to shine. The wine was fined and filtered for bottling.
