Our Wild Ferment Chardonnay 2009

When Susan and Malcolm sought a tree change and moved to Booroolite near Mansfield to set up a small family vineyard, they didn’t anticipate they would quickly establish an enviable reputation for quality wines. Leaving wine to ferment naturally with wild airborne yeast is risky at best, but the results can produce some amazing flavours, as this one has. It’s an absolute delight with a full and rich palate weight and delightfully creamy texture. Every glass can be enjoyed without the overstated buttery character one gets with barrel fermented chardy’s. It will keep for years and is well worth the $34 price tag. Look out for more Kinloch wines in the coming weeks.  Alex Berry - freelance wine critic
