McWilliam's
Mount Pleasant Chardonnay

| Awards | Tasting Notes |

This wine highlights the strength and history the Hunter Valley has with producing another great white wine variety, Chardonnay.

Fully ripe grapes are picked at night in early February, crushed, must chilled and transferred to drainers. Inoculated with an aromatic yeast, the wine completes the majority of fermentation time in French oak hogsheads. The wine is then matured in the same oak for up to nine months with regular stirring on lees to add creamy dimensions. A portion of the wine also undergoes malolactic fermentation. The French oak used is sourced from forests such as Alliers, Troncais and Vosges in France.
