Singlefile Wines Run Free Chardonnay 2023 (6 Bottles) Denmark, Great Southern

$176.00 GST Included

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

This 2023 chardonnay displays a bright, lifted bouquet of both lemon and stone fruits, such as peach and nectarine. There is also an underlay of toasty spice derived from the oak. On the palate, the wine displays lively citrus flavours supported by funky barrel ferment characters which add complexity. There is a long flavoursome finish with a good balance of fruit, oak and natural acidity. This wine will develop further in bottle in the coming years.

Chardonnay is very well suited to the cool climate of the Great Southern wine region. Chardonnay from the vineyard sites in this part of Western Australia tend to ripen slowly, developing complex flavours while also retaining an elegant natural acidity which provides for a lovely balance between richness and vibrancy that we seek in this modern styled chardonnay.

The fruit was picked in pristine conditions early morning in mid-March 2023. When the fruit arrived at the winery it was gently destemmed and pressed, the juice transferred directly into Burgundian 225l barriques and temperature controlled to ensure a slow fermentation process. Natural (wild) yeasts and indigenous yeasts were used in different barrels, giving rise to the development of complex flavours and textural weight.

At the end of the fermentation the lees were stirred gently each week until the desired balance between oak, lees complexity and fruit character was achieved. No malolactic fermentation was carried out with all the natural acidity preserved.

About Singlefile Wines

Singlefile Wines represents our family’s pursuit of excellence. Every wine in our range embodies a drive to craft wines of exceptional quality from Western Australia’s Great Southern wine region.

At Singlefile we strive to excel in every task that comes before us. From rigorously analysing soil composition and climatic variations through to vigour in the winery, Singlefile’s approach to winemaking is nothing short of singular.

Singlefile’s wines are expressions of the unique terroir of the Great Southern wine region, which imparts distinctive attributes to the parcels of fruit that alight in our winery. We hand pick sites that best suit each of our varieties. Invariably, these sites are premium cool-climate settings, boasting supreme conditions to grow grapes of outstanding quality.

Singlefile fruit is treated as naturally as possible, allowing the beauty of the grape to shine in the final wine. In the winery, we also embrace the “less is more” practice, where wines are allowed to develop with minimal intervention.

Singlefile Wines takes its name from the resident geese, who parade gracefully in single file each day at dusk en route to the lake below the vineyards.

The crest on the Singlefile Wines label articulates the family’s international heritage. The springbok is the national animal for South Africa and appears on that country’s coat of arms. The stag is the emblem of County Clare in Ireland, where Patrick was born. Most importantly, the Singlefile moniker represents the drive to craft exceptional Great Southern wines.
