Bleeding Heart Chardonnay (12pk)
More about Bleeding Heart Find a stockist Grape Variety: Chardonnay Summary: Bleeding Heart Wine was borne from a shared passion in the wines and vineyards of Australia. The ancient soils and moderate climate create rich and full bodied wines that are incredibly satisfying. Few that experience the lifestyle of food and wine could argue that it is not better a bleeding heart than none at all. Winemaking: Fruit is harvested during the early morning hours to retain freshness and partially whole bunch pressed. The fruit is kept separate before a fast and precise vinification in stainless steel with minimal oxygen contact, maximising fruit expression and aromatics. A cool fermentation (15 to 18 degrees) is undertaken in stainless steel tanks before maturation on lees for four months. A portion of the Adelaide Hills fruit is aged in two and three year old French oak to increase complexity and mouthfeel. Vintage 2021: Some early rainfall some vineyards, lowering volumes but in generalthe Limestone Coast had a relatively successful vintage in 2021. The naturally cooler vineyards picked later and benefitted from the conditions moderating as well as a well-timed rain event re-vitalising the vineyards prior to vintage. There were good yields of well-balanced fruit with great intensity of flavour. Tasting Note: Pale yellow in colour with green hints. The nose is unadulterated Chardonnay – classically expressive of stone fruit, lemon and cut apple. The palate is elegant and fresh, highlighting citrus and stone fruits before building to a soft and round mid palate, balanced by a citrus minerality. Pair with a classic chicken schnitzel.

Elephant In The Room 'Mid-Strength' Half Chardonnay (6pk)
More about Elephant In The Room Find a stockist Grape Variety: Chardonnay
Region: South Australia
Winemaker: Corey Ryan
Closure: Screwcap
Alcohol: 6.5%
Summary: The Elephant in the Room wines are proudly large in scale and expansive in flavour. Created to deliver full bodied and mouth-filling wines, Elephant in the Room gives consumers what they want- quality, flavour and something to talk about. Each wine is sourced from slow-ripening cool climate vineyards and partially matured in French Oak before final blending and bottling by Corey Ryan. Winemaking: Picked partially by hand. The majority of the blend was vinified in stainless steel with high solids and oxidative handling with fifteen barrel fermented with lees stirring. A small component of the blend is cool distilled whilst another undergoes ultra-membrane filtration. With very gentle handling, these components are masterfully blending back into the original parcel of wine to arrive at a well-integrated, lighter finished ABV. The wine post fermentation & blending spends the following three months maturing in stainless steel and 20% in second-use oak before bottling. Vintage 2023: The winter and spring prior to the 2023 vintage was generally a little wetter and cooler than what is usual, delaying the start of vintage and meaning some extra care was required through the growing period. Whilst the vintage was indeed later than usual, there were some really beautiful parcels of fruit that benefited from being grown in sites where the slower ripening simply enabled flavour ripeness to be achieved with character & balance. Tasting Note: Soft yellow in appearance with an aromatic nose of stone fruit and citrus with notes of creamy vanillin oak. The mouthfeel here is full and rich whilst the fresh stone fruit character and integrated oak delivers impressive flavour and a creaminess to the finish. This is a seamless and unashamedly flavoursome Chardonnay with big fruit flavours that belies its moderate alcohol making it the perfect luncheon wine to partner with many fresh or creamy cuisines.

The 2022 is crushed and hard pressed, then wild fermented on oak with full solids. Stirred fortnightly until bottling in July. Vintage 2023: A cooler and wetter spring slowed the start of vintage in 2023. Coolness was a signature of the year putting some pressure on many vineyards and yields. The individual site for Wild Folk wines here in the Yarra valley needed to take precautions and act decisively during the growing period to ensure disease pressure was well-managed and berries could achieve full flavour and phenolic ripeness. The resultant wines from these very best sites are bright and flavour-filled & will drink superbly in their youth. Tasting Note: Yarra Chardonnay goes natural, made with premium fruit and integrated older oak. Vibrant nose with citrus, apple, and biscuit notes complemented by subtle cashew and grilled nuts. A creamy palate showing good length and lovely line with crisp acidity. A great expression of modern Yarra Valley Chardonnay. Pair with a classic roast chicken.
