winemaker's notes:

Heytesbury Chardonnay is made from a barrel selection of the best Chardonnay at each vintage. Fermented entirely with wild yeast and matured in French oak for 10 months. The Heytesbury Chardonnay is made without compromise, and its production is strictly limited.

alcohol by volume: 13.5%
critical acclaim:

"A highly aromatic and striking bouquet; the depth and content of the palate are wholly remarkable at this alcohol level; nutty almond/creamy flavours seamlessly welded with melon and grapefruit."

Australian Wine Companion

"The 2005 Chardonnay "Heytesbury" was partially wild yeast fermented along with partial malolactic fermentation. It was aged for 10 months in French oak. Light gold-colored, it offers an alluring perfume of toast, smoke, butter, hazelnuts, mineral, and tropical aromas. This leads to a medium-bodied, full-flavored Chardonnay with excellent depth and concentration. Drink it over the next 5-7 years. "

The Wine Advocate

"Light yellow. Pungent pear, peach and honeydew aromas are given depth by toasty lees. Spicy citrus zest-accented orchard fruit flavors are sweetened by suave oak spice. Chewy in texture and long and juicy on the clinging finish. Balances richness with energy in a highly attractive, ready-to-drink package."
