Here’s the last of their wines from Romsey Vineyard, “the owner of the property pulled the vines out a year ago and planted a low maintenance native garden – we’re a bit gutted after all the work we put in but it’s hard to argue with his logic in terms of his personal needs”. Alas. And they worked out their doing stuff a lot too. A shame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGolden-ish colour. Lovely. Yummy scents, inviting, sweet spice, honey and toasty notes, ripe apple, ginger and lemon balm. Flavors roll supple and rich but fresh, more of the apple, cinnamon, light toastiness and a creamy butteriness upfront that finishes lightly saline and fresh. A generous mouthful in every sip, with balance and good energy. Really lovely.\u003c\/p\u003e\nRated : 93 Points\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Tasted : SEP21\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Alcohol : 13%\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Price : $44\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Closure : Screwcap\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Drink : 2021 - 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrom the Winemakers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis vineyard is our pride and joy. The good child. The one that is easy to look after, is naturally balance and produces fruit that consistently powerful yet pure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis year we picked a bit earlier, and then played with a bit of malo and battonage to build weight, flavour and texture - we think it is our best Chardonnnay yet! The long but mild growing season offers it a thrillingly fresh finish. We believe in a classic interpretation of the Chardonnay grape – a wine that is full of flavour and body. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVineyard: Romsey, Macedon Ranges\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAge of Vines: 29 year old\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGrowers: Athletes Of Wine\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSoil: Red loam\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAspect: North\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eArea: 1.52 acres\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAltitude: 545m a.s.l.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eClone: P58\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr style=\"color: #ff2a00;\" title=\"Permanent Link to Athletes of Wine Vinero Romsey Chardonnay 2019\" href=\"https:\/\/www.winefront.com.au\/athletes-of-wine-vinero-romsey-chardonnay-2019\/\" rel=\"bookmark\" data-mce-style=\"color: #ff2a00;\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.winefront.com.au\/athletes-of-wine-vinero-romsey-chardonnay-2019\/\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHarvest: 23rd March; 1.9 ton\/acre\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWinery: wild yeast fermented and aged on lees in hogsheads for 10 months (one new Francois Freres, plus older Saint Martin Francois Freres); no battonage; no malo; bottled unfined and unfiltered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ethereal Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43338871111835,"sku":"","price":49.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2548\/4596\/products\/AthofWRomCh_f1200612-42f8-4294-94c1-67aff068ad5a.png?v=1681264555","url":"https:\/\/ethereal-wines.myshopify.com\/products\/2019-athletes-of-wine-vinero-romsey-chardonnay","provider":"Ethereal Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
