Blanc 2023
Oakbank, Kuitpo
Adelaide Hills
Chardonnay with a touch of Riesling, blended together and made with a different approach. The 2023 Moorak Blanc is an aromatic fruity white that's savoury on the palate. Like a skin contact white without the 'orange,' it's fleshy, easy going and approachable.
VINEYARDS:
The Chardonnay comes from Oakbank in the Adelaide Hills, while the Riesling was grown in Kuitpo, Adelaide Hills.
AROMA/FLAVOUR:
Rockmelon, pink grapefruit and peach.
STYLE:
Aromatic, pitchy and alternative white.
WHEN/WHERE TO DRINK:
Good atmosphere, where it can be shared
WHAT TO EAT WITH:
BBQ, smokey dishes and béchamel.
WINEMAKER NOTES:
This is predominantly made from the 76 Clone of Chardonnay, which comes with a similar flavour/aroma to muscats. Fermented all in stainless steel to keep its fruit profile, while left on full solids, full malo and a bit of time in seasoned oak to tame it. A touch of Riesling blended in for some kick too.
