Three Lions Great Southern Chardonnay
Country: Australia Region: Western Australia
Varietal: Chardonnay Vintage: 2022
Category: White Wine Style: Dry
Producer: Plantagenet
Plantagenet was the first winery in the Great Southern region and produces some of Western Australia's most classically elegant wines. Their first plantings were in the late 60s and the first vintage was in 1974. The Plantagenet winery is located in the Mount Barker township, a sub-district of the Great Southern region. The proximity of Plantagenet's vineyards to the cool Southern Ocean ensures slow ripening, which in turn enhances the aromatic qualities of the grapes. Today, Plantagenet's five vineyards of 126 hectares are located to the south and west of Mount Barker on gravelly loam soils over a base of clay, sand or ironstone rock.
Chris Murtha was recently appointed Chief Winemaker at Plantagenet Wines, having joined the winemaking team in 2012. ""My absolute focus is to produce wines that speak of the Great Southern region. Classic cool climate wines that are finely structured and intensely aromatic, refined and complex while retaining fruit purity and brightness"", says Chris."
Tasting Notes:
A classic and elegant cool climate Chardonnay with lemon curd and white peach flavours. A touch of savoury oak on the palate with the full, creamy palate is balanced by a line of mineral acidity, which gives freshness and length to finish.
Food Suggestion: Serve with Sri Lankan Coconut & Cashew Chicken.
