What a delicious white wine this Sutton Hill Chardonnay is! In this wine, we clearly taste what the label says: "taste the Heritage from down under." The vineyards are located in southern Australia, on the best plots available in the region. Sutton Hill Winery has undergone major transformation in recent years. The winery has been completely renovated and equipped with all the modern techniques available. This allows the Sutton Hill winemaker to produce a pure and rich wine that focuses primarily on fruitiness and the power of the vines.
The Chardonnay harvest
The Chardonnay grape thrives in the Australian sun, and the ancient soil structure provides the clusters with the right nutrients. The subsoil is rich in chalky pebbles and loose sand, allowing the vines to root easily. The deep roots allow the vines to easily absorb moisture and draw nutrients from the soil. All clusters mature perfectly and are harvested early in the morning at ideal ripeness. This prevents damage and bruising to the clusters during transport. Upon arrival, the Sutton Hill winemaker sorts the Chardonnay clusters on sorting tables. Only the finest clusters are processed, and the taste reveals their quality.
Full and very powerful this Sutton Hill Chardonnay
Upon opening the bottle, we immediately smell a heady aroma of exotic fruit, with hints of vanilla and apricot. In the glass, it erupts into a beautiful golden yellow with a slight green shimmer. The lovely, thick texture clings to the glass and flows beautifully. Nosing the glass, we detect hints of mango, apricot, and lychee. Later, some hints of vanilla and roasted nuts. The palate is full and ripe with a thick texture, abundant tropical fruit richness, vanilla, and an oily character.
