Tasting Notes
The Zilzie Regional Collection Yarra Valley Chardonnay is elegant and refined with compelling nectarine flavours, complemented by a subtle creamy texture and a refreshing minerality.

Pale to mid straw.
Aroma
Nectarine, white peach and citrus characters with attractive oak.

A refreshing fruit driven palate with integrated oak and a zesty acidic finish.

Winemaker Notes
Fruit selected from premium Yarra Valley vineyards was inoculated with a selected yeast strain, with the juice cool fermented on French oak. The wine was then aged on yeast lees to increase complexity and palate texture, before blending, stabilising and bottling.
