Patricia Chardonnay 2023
Brown Brothers
Minimum order of 1 case or 6 bottles (Mixed or straight)
The Patricia Chardonnay is the pinnacle of our portfolio harnessing the best Chardonnay from cool climate Tasmania. The fruit is handpicked from our premium vineyards, whole bunch pressed and barrel fermented, all processes designed to make a complex style with amazing balance.
The Patricia Chardonnay is an elegant wine that balances natural acidity with complexity and ripe stone fruit flavours. Crafted from our best blocks in the Tamar Valley, it showcases delightful notes of white peach and citrus. This wine offers an elegant profile with mineral characters and a long finish. It displays a harmonious balance of acidity, oak, and layers of intrigue.
For the summer months the Patricia Chardonnay would be perfect with lightly fried white bait with a lemon mayonnaise dipping sauce. During winter try it with lobster and a lime and coriander butter.

All components completed fermentation in barrels on full solids and with natural yeast to add complexity. The wine underwent full malolactic fermentation to add a further layer of interest and also to reduce the high levels of natural acidity of the vintage. The wine spent 11 months in a combination of new (33%) and seasoned French oak barriques with the lees continually stirred to ensure complexity and refinement.
