Buy any 2 bottles from Eight at the Gate to meet their minimum order requirement.
Vinification: Fermented in tank on lees, batonage applied.Vintage Conditions: Budburst date was on par with average after wet July & August. Spring was cool & damp which resulted in slow shoot growth. Fruit set was variable due to cool conditions but the weather stablised in November, with excellent growing conditions through to February. A lack of any weather extremes, either heat or cool spells lead to favourable ripening conditions and excellent flavour development.Vine Clone: Bernard 76Harvest Date: March 7, 2018

Expert review
Appealing nose of peachy and yeasty characters. Long, lingering palate brims over with varietal flavours. Well matched by zesty citrus fruit.
Chardonnay
One of the most planted, versatile and popular white varieties in the world. As a stand alone grape, Chardonnay is not the most interesting, nor complex varietal out there...but in the hands of a great winemaker it can be turned into one of the world's greatest pleasures! From the best bubbles of Champagne, to the lean, unoaked and mineral expressions of Chablis and the opulent, oaked and complex whites of Burgundy, Chardonnay is responsible for making some of the greatest expressions of white wine on the planet.
