Overt vanilla aromas tends to come with barrel fermentation more than via the more gentle processes involved in barrel maturation, and from new wood rather than used oak. Older barrels are more about gentle oxidation rather than transfer of vanillins and similar aroma compounds.

However, when strictly discussing buttery characters malolactic fermentation (the conversion of malic acid to lactic acid) can play at least as big a role as oak. Lees aging also adds texture.

Such wines tend to come from regions or sites where white grapes achieve high levels of ripeness, and/or feature grape varieties which can attain high sugar levels. From this comes reasonable levels of alcohol by volume.

This means ripe fruit aromas balance the oak characters. Moreover, the viscosity of a higher alcohol white wine adds a silkiness which can ally to buttery aromas.

About Ceravolo Wines

The Ceravolo came to Australia from Calabria, Southern Italy over fifty years ago from the Old World to a New World. It was no coincidence that they came from the 35 N Parallel in Southern Italy to the 35 S Parallel in the South of Australia.

We have been making wine and olive oil for hundreds of years. Over generations, we have combined Old World traditions with New World expertise. Both regions have a maritime micro-climate and share similar wine making characteristics. Our wines are estate grown from either the Adelaide Plains or the cooler Adelaide Hills. Our home Estate is nestled amidst our cherry orchards and chestnut grove in the Adelaide Hills.

Adelaide Hills grapes were planted as early as 1839, but it was not until the early 1980’s that there was a renaissance for vineyards and winemaking in this region. Grape varieties well suited to the Adelaide Hills are sauvignon blanc, chardonnay, pinot grigio and pinot noir.

Joe works non-stop on the vineyards to produce the best quality fruit across the Plains and Hills. We work with our winemakers closely to deliver balanced and elegant wines that are great by themselves or partner with food beautifully.
