Chardonnay

Pipers Brook Chardonnay is sourced from high density vineyard blocks in the Tamar Valley. Close proximity to the sea gives these vines a distinctly cool maritime climate.

The fruit is handpicked in the cool morning hours, quickly chilled and gently pressed, separating the pristine free run juice. After cold settling, it is racked to French oak barrels with a portion of light solids.

Some parcels are fermented with wild yeast while others use cultured yeast. Post ferment, the barrels receive bâtonnage, or lees stirring, followed by nine months of maturation.

Bright straw, Pipers Brook Chardonnay has juicy stone fruit and citrus flavours with subtle spice and sea spray minerality. Cellaring potential is five years.
