Domenica Chardonnay 2021 Victoria Beechworth
$47.95
Domenica Chardonnay 2021
Domenica sits 460m above sea level atop the granite ridge sweeping away to the south west of Beechworth. The wines are vividly reflective of their origin, a gripping mineral texture encasing the mature vine vitality of the varietals chosen to express it. Winemaking is traditional. Taste is more important than numbers. The yeasts comes from the site, not a packet. Pressings, solids and lees all play their part completing the picture. The wines are carefully maintained in oak barriques before being bottled unfiltered.
Peter Graham cut his teeth at nearby Giaconda, where he worked as assistant winemaker for thirteen years. During the early part of this time he completed a degree in wine science by correspondence through Charles Sturt University. Vintage experience at Ramey in Sonoma, California, a joint venture with Michel Chapoutier, and various travels through many European and Australian wine regions ensured the development of a truly international palate.
Chardonnay is hand picked row by row, spanning many days. Each small batch is lightly crushed, basket pressed and fermented naturally in French barrels. The mixture of clonal selection, different barrels and multiple picking days showcases our vineyard with complexity and nuance.
