Reschke Bull Trader Chardonnay 2025

The fruit here was sourced from vineyards in Padthaway. The aim was to ensure the ripeness of the grapes to enhance flavour. After the juice was allowed to cold settle for a day, fermentation preceded with a Burgundian yeast strain. 15% of the juice went to French oak barrels for that fermentation. Pale lemon in colour, this is very much a flavour forward style, and indeed richly flavoured at that. There is a pleasing nuttiness to this Chardonnay, which also provides aromas of citrus, stone fruits, green apples and a touch of gentle oak integration. The wine is very much an upfront style, but it has medium length and a soft finish. Enjoy it over the next four to five years.
