This wonderfully opulent Chardonnay displays intense tropical fruit aromas of pineapple & lime, leading to luxurious flavours of caramel, butterscotch and macadamia nut and ends with a generous, lingering finish.
Grape Variety: 100% Chardonnay Alcohol: 13% Vol Harvesting & Vinification: A specially selected parcel of two Burgundian Chardonnay clones was hand-harvested on 5th November 2020. This date was carefully identified as the optimum window to harvest these grapes, when they were presenting intense tropical and opulent flavours combined with balanced acidity. Once pressed, the juice was left to settle for twelve hours. Secondary Fermentation & Ageing: The juice was racked to eight barrels with high levels of solids. Each barrel had its own unique properties, with six of the set crafted with new oak and two made from one-year old oak. Furthermore, the barrels were a combination of French and American oak and ranged from light, medium to heavy toast. The wine was then allowed to undergo alcoholic and malolactic fermentation using indigenous microflora.
"I was one of the very first to try the Q Class and can vouch for their incredible flavour and complexity. The Chardonnay was like a buttery toasty baguette with notes of blossom, ripe lemon and a refined flinty acidity." Libby Zietsman - Brodie, CityAM
