2023 Understudy Chardonnay
$38.00
Named the Understudy as when it was first produced in 2019 it was made in a different style to our Mango Tree Chardonnay. It has since amassed its own following and can hold its own against its very popular sister. The fruit for the Understudy stays on the vine until it reaches optimum ripeness, at which time 50% is fermented in stainless steel vats, and 50% is fermented in 2–5-year-old French oak puncheons. After 6 months they are blended to produce a rich tropical fruit style with subtle French oak characters. This is no shrinking violet and is all about harnessing the power of fruit driven chardonnay.
