Straight 6 Pack
Ashton Hills Piccadilly Valley Chardonnay 2022 - 6 Pack
This Chardonnay is sourced exclusively from the Piccadilly Valley sub-region of the Adelaide Hills, home of Ashton Hills. The Piccadilly Valley is the coldest and wettest part of the region, ideal growing conditions for Chardonnay. Ferment was sparked by indigenous yeasts and the wine matured in a combination of new and used French oak for nine months.
BOUQUETLifted floral notes, white peach and a touch of yellow nectarine are entwined with a hint of cashew.
PALATEThe stone fruits continue onto the palate with green melon and citrus notes. The slatey acidity and hint of pithy phenolics provide a lovely texture and drive to the wine.
GROWING CONDITIONSReduced yields from the 2022 harvest were the result of poor fruit set due to a cold spring. This turned out to be a blessing, with a cool summer pushing the majority of our harvest into the last week of March and early April. Ripening of the small berries and bunches was long and slow which has resulted in wines with intense flavour, concentration and structure.
