The wine was gently pressed and cold settled with the free run portion kept separate. The free run juice was racked with some solids and warmed in a tank where it was seeded with a specially selected Chardonnay yeast. Once fermentation had commenced the juice was gravity fed into French oak barrels: 30% new, 30% one year old and the balance older oak. The wine fermented for 20 days at a temperature of between 16 - 18°C. In the last third of the ferment the wine was stirred daily to impart texture and complexity into the wine. After fermentation, the wine matured in oak barrels for 12 months with regular lees stirring. The wine was racked from barrel and then clarified ready for bottling.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFOOD MATCHES:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent with southern crayfish, a burnt butter sauce, saffron rice and fresh snow peas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWINE ANALYSIS: \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eALC\/VOL: 13.3% pH: 3.27 TA: 7.13 g\/L \u003cbr\u003eVEGAN FRIENDLY\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll information relates to the current vintage – if you require information on a previous vintage please contact us via \u003ca href=\"mailto:hello@victorianalpswineco.com.au\" title=\"Click here to email Victorian Alps Wine Co. to ask a question\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehello@victorianalpswineco.com.au\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victorian Alps Wine Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46621193208088,"sku":"TBCHA22L7-SS","price":200.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/6733\/4168\/files\/TheBuffalo2022Chardonnay-VictorianAlpsWineCo..png?v=1693804269"},{"product_id":"gapsted-wines-nv-fine-old-tawny-12-pack","title":"Gapsted Wines NV Fine Old Tawny - 6 Pack","description":"\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eTHE WINE:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eAged in very old French and American oak barrels for 10 years, the result is a rich, full flavoured and lusciously complex fortified wine with hints of citrus peel, crushed walnuts and toasty vanilla bean.

The other parcel was fermented on full solids in old French oak hogsheads to build layers of texture and complexity while still respecting the varietal personality.

The remaining must was then pressed lightly to prevent pickup of coarse grapeseed characters. The wine was then floated to a tank where it was inoculated with specially selected Thiolic yeast for ferment at 13-16°C. The ferment completed after 20 days, after which the wine was chilled and allowed to mature unhindered on yeast lees in tank for 9 months before being prepared for bottling with minimal filtration and fining.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFOOD MATCHES:\u003c\/strong\u003e An excellent match with pan-seared snapper and grilled asparagus.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWINE ANALYSIS: \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eALC\/VOL: 12.0% pH: 3.28 TA: 6.79 g\/L\u003cbr\u003eVEGAN FRIENDLY\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll information relates to the current vintage – if you require information on a previous vintage please contact us via \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Click here to email Victorian Alps Wine Co. to ask a question\" href=\"mailto:hello@victorianalpswineco.com.au\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehello@victorianalpswineco.com.au\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victorian Alps Wine Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52354276458776,"sku":"HSSAB23L7-DO","price":100.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/6733\/4168\/files\/Hidden-Story-Sauvignon-Blanc-2023-low-res.jpg?v=1782955836"},{"product_id":"valle-del-re-2023-pinot-grigio-12-pack","title":"Valle del Re 2023 Pinot Grigio - 12 Pack","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e VINEYARD REGION: \u003c\/strong\u003eKing Valley\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE WINE: \u003c\/strong\u003eOur Pinot Grigio has been made to reflect the Italian expression of this grape variety.
