Winemaking
The majority of this blend was crafted from French Chardonnay clone 95, planted in 1996 alongside other clones in our Estate vineyards on the Mount Boucherie bench. Harvested in late September, the freshly pressed, unsettled juice was run directly to barrel where, over a 4 month period, both alcoholic and malolactic fermentations took place. The wine was left to age on yeast lees for another 6 months before racking and blending. Our Stewart Family Reserve Chardonnay is a very cellar worthy wine with ageing potential of 5 a 7 años.

Tasting & Pairing
Our Stewart Family Reserve Chardonnay combines citrus and stone fruits with delicate sprinklings of ginger and cinnamon. There is a toasty, biscuity character that is cleverly implanted by the French oak barrel fermentation creating a harmony of ripe fruit, toasty oak and youthful mouth watering acidity. Enjoy it with roasted sablefish and a smoked cod and potato brandade.
Winemaking
The Chardonnay grapes were harvested from 100% estate grown French clone vines. 2010 was a classic cool-climate season, resulting in a wine with excellent balance and acidity. The wine was hand crafted using regular lees stirring and full malolactic fermentation in French oak (40% new, 60% 1 year old). This wine will reward careful cellaring for up to 5 años.

The Stewart Family Reserve Chardonnay grapes were harvested in October 2009 from the best French clones in Quails’ Gate Estate vineyards. With vines averaging 13-17 years old, the roots extend deep into the clay and gravel soil adding minerality and complexity to the wine. Made from 100% estate grown French clone Chardonnay in a classic warm-climate season, this wine has excellent balance and acidity. It was hand crafted using full barrel fermentation in French oak (40% new, 60% 1 year old). All barrels were warmed to complete the malolactic fermentation. These techniques enhance mid palate weight and texture, adding richness and complexity. Time in the bottle will allow for seamless integration of this well balanced wine.
