Nepenthe Ithaca Chardonnay 2009

Nepenthe Ithaca Chardonnay 2009

Winemaking
The heart of the Ithaca Chardonnay comes from the Estate vineyard at Lenswood.
Fruit for the Ithaca was hand picked on the 11th of March and then rapidly
transferred to the winery. The wine is fermented in French Oak barriques – 60%
new and 40% one to two year old. The wine is aged for 9 months on yeast lees
with regular stirring; a refrigerated cool-room is used to maintain appropriate
fermentation temperatures. Every barrel is then tasted and clarified, with only
the best chosen from inclusion in the Ithaca.

The Wine
Region: Adelaide Hills
Variety: Chardonnay
Colour: Bright straw
Bouquet: Lifted stone fruit and fresh citrus characters are complemented by notes
of toast and spice.
Palate: Textured and elegant with peach and nectarine flavours balanced by the long,
crisp finish.

Serving suggestion: A great match for chicken and pork; try a creamy chicken risotto
or roast pork with a buttery apple sauce. Also try with seafood dishes such as crab
cakes or smoked salmon and a mild cheddar or Gruyere cheese.
