Bottled: September 2008

Hand-picked during the first and second week of October from Rosehall Run's Estate North Block, the fruit arrived in beautiful golden clusters at the pinnacle of ripeness. Yields came in at just under 2 tonnes/acre (30 hL/ha)
After pressing the huice cold settled for a short time prior to racking into a mix of one year old 228L French oak barriques fermented and aged sur lie for ten months with malolactic fermentation. A coarse filtration preceded bottling in September 2008.

| 2007 Chardonnay |
| submitted by: David Lawrason |
Chardonnay is winemaker Dan Sullivan’s signature varietal. It’s a slim feeling County chardonnay on the palate but loaded with fruit and complexity. Expect lifted buttery, chive, toast, peach pie, squash and lemon zest aromas. Quite rich, lively and almost zesty with excellent length on the palate.
