This site has tightly spaced vines and enjoys cooling sea breezes. Two to three weeks later, we hand-pick the Clone 5 chardonnay from the cooler, southern Bridgeland Vineyard in Karridale. Both sites feature Mungite and Forest Grove soils.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eVintage Conditions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThe 2015–16 Margaret River vintage was warm and dry, with ideal conditions for vine growth and fruit quality. Rain on 19 March 2016 refreshed the vines and helped carry them to full ripeness. The resulting wines are fragrant, with vibrant acidity, rich textures and intense aromas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eWinemaking Note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eSelect parcels are hand-picked, chilled overnight and whole bunch pressed with only the purest fraction of juice being transferred to French Oak barriques, un-fined. After fermentation the wines are aged sur lie in barrel for 9 months before barrel selection, blending and bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eAccolades\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e96\/100,  James Halliday Wine Companion 2019\u003cbr\u003e94\/100 - Ray Jordans WA Wine Guide 2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eCellaring\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThis wine has already been cellared for you to enjoy now, but will continue to evolve if kept under suitable conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Clairault Streicker","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":49489921114369,"sku":"16CTECHA","price":115.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/2986\/2913\/files\/ClairaultEstateChardonnay.png?v=1756627870","url":"https:\/\/clairaultstreicker.com.au\/products\/clairault-estate-chardonnay-2016","provider":"Clairault Streicker","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
