It then settled overnight before being racked to French oak puncheons that were 70% new and 30% 1 and 2 year old. Following fermenation the wine was then matured in oak for 7 months with lees stirring taking place every 2 weeks to build texture. The wine was then lightly fined with skim milk, filtered and bottled under screw cap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVINTAGE NOTES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 2023 vintage began in the Hunter Valley cool and wet growing season with above average rainfall in Spring. These wet conditions increased disease pressure which was carefully managed with good vineyard practices. The cool conditions continued into late December and early January but the wet weather cleared to sunnier than usual days. Near perfect ripening conditions resulted in wines that have intense flavours, whilst maintaining freshness and natural acidity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Audrey Wilkinson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49876220805275,"sku":"ADWCHA23-WS-PER","price":75.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0462\/3899\/0491\/files\/AudreyWilkinsonWinemakersSelectionChardonnay2023.jpg?v=1792573694","url":"https:\/\/personalisedcellars.com.au\/products\/personalised-audrey-wilkinson-winemakers-selection-chardonnay-2023-12-5-750ml","provider":"personalisedcellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
