Hutton Triptych Chardonnay 2017

Fruit for the 2017 Hutton Triptych Margaret River Semillon was sourced from the Kailis vineyard in Wilyabrup. The grapes were hand picked in February, chilled overnight, then crushed and gently pressed. The free run juice was fermented naturally with wild yeasts in stainless steel tanks. No malolactic fermentation was encouraged to preserve the bright, natural acidity. The wine was matured for 7 months in tank on lees. Bottling was in October and 105 cases were produced. Straw, lime and vanilla intermingle to produce a delicate bouquet. The palate is textured with citrus and toasty notes combining with crisp and pure acidity to produce a long fresh finish.
