Even Keel by Polperro Tumbarumba Chardonnay 2022 (12 Bottles) Mornington Peninsula

$424.00 GST Included

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

Lifted and perfumed with flinty minerals, white stone fruit, Meyer lemon, white florals and nectar. The palate is refreshing with white peaches and citrus, good mid palate texture and a long driving energetic finish. A very enjoyable drink now but with a long life ahead of it.

The fruit is handpicked and whole bunched pressed using a gentle champagne press cycle. No enzymes or sulphur are used at the press tray and the juice is oxidatively handled to get rid of oxidative enzymes early on in the winemaking process. The wine is left at ambient or if needed chilled to 15 degrees and transferred to old French oak barrel with full solids and minimal sulphur added.

The wine is allowed to ferment using wild yeast and no additional sulphur added until the following summer when in most cases the wine completes full malolactic fermentation. After 10 months, the wine is racked off gross lees and transferred to tank. The resulting wine is bottled using no finings and minimal filtration and minimal sulphur.

Peach/nectarine and honey aromas with a little chicken stock and smoked charcuterie, the palate rounded and full, smooth and rich, with depth and density but also floats with ease and elegance across the palate, finishing quite long. – 91/100, Huon Hooke – The Real Review

About Even Keel and Polperro Wines

Even Keel celebrates the individual strengths of cool climate regions of Australia.

Each region is selected for having the optimum conditions to suit specific varieties, such as Pinot Gris from the Mornington Peninsula, Syrah from the Canberra District, Chardonnay from Tumbarumba and Shiraz from Heathcote. With a long history of trusted working relationships, Sam selects growers with the utmost care. Every aspect of the growing — from pruning, canopy management and harvesting — is overseen.

At harvest, the fruit is carefully hand – picked and transferred to our Polperro winery on the Mornington Peninsula to be vinified and matured. Here the same care and dedication is shown to these selected parcels of fruit as to the wines of the Polperro label. The resulting wines are true expressions of their region.

Polperro Winery is nestled among the vines and shaded by ancient Angophora trees on a stunning 25 acre property in the heart of Red Hill, Mornington Peninsula. Established in 2014, Polperro is a boutique winery that offers on-site vineyard dining, intimate cellar door and luxury accommodation.
