Burton McMahon D'Aloisio Chardonnay
2021 Chardonnay, Yarra Valley, Victoria
Modern Chardonnay from Yarra vineyards
Description
The D’Aloisio Vineyard is located in the Seville Township, with a north facing slope on red volcanic soils. The site has an altitude of 230m above sea level. Clone is I10V1. A slightly more forward and expressive style from this site.
The fruit is hand-picked to insure only clean, healthy bunches are selected. We then whole bunch press, and settle the juice overnight in tank. This is followed by a light racking directly to barrel (approx. 95% solids), where natural fermentation takes place. MLF is not encouraged and wines are sulphured directly after primary. The wines are then matured for 10 months in 30% new (225 – 500L) French oak barrels.
