This Chardonnay depicts the Cape Barren Goose, a symbol of an endangered species. Over the years, many birds and animals have sought and found refuge in Yalumba’s sanctuary, land dedicated to native wildlife rehabilitation. Fermentation by natural or ‘wild’ yeast, naturally present in the vineyard has helped shape this wine; think minerality, grapefruit and pineapple flavors.
Tasting Notes
Medium straw in color with green hues, the aromatics are reminiscent of blossoms, pepper and an exotic hit of loquat. The palate of this Chardonnay is understated and refined, it begins quite full and creamy with a touch of nuttiness from the bâttonage. As it grows, the palate shows purity, with zingy citrus notes of limes and lemons. Freshness with a lovely lip smacking acidity gives this wine length and a clean pure finish.
Serving Suggestion
Try with pan fried haloumi with lemon and parsley or chickpea, zucchini and carrot pancakes with a green mango salad.
