The wine is a brilliantly clear and has a light golden straw colour. The generous aromas coming out of the glass show white peach, honeydew melon and lemon zest. The lengthy palate features fresh, fruity flavours with a mellow undercurrent of soft vanillin oak. A fine acidic backbone gives the wine a well balanced structure with a clean, crisp finish. This complex range of flavours stays with you after the wine is swallowed, making this a very elegant, easy drinking chardonnay.<\/p>\n

At Elgo Estate our fruit is 100% estate grown, high in the cool upper reaches of the Strathbogie Ranges. Elgo Estate\u2019s altitude and soil profile ensure ideal characteristics for growing cool climate wines. The fruit for our Chardonnay was harvested in the coolest part of the morning on 23 February to take advantage of the cold mountain conditions. This aids in the preservation of the natural flavours produced by our 40+ year old vines. The juice was fermented in a range of French oak and stainless steel tanks in a bid to build complexity and maintain freshness. After around six months of maturation, the 2021 Allira Chardonnay was prepared for bottling. Less than 300 dozen bottles of this fine wine have been produced.<\/p>\n

This is a versatile wine that can be enjoyed with good food or simply as a nice refreshing drink. It would go equally well with any seafood dish or maybe a chicken pilaf. Medium to long term cellaring potential, drinking well into 2025. Serve slightly chilled.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
