Wine Summary Image

VINTAGE 2022

The 2022 Australian summer was the hottest on record. All Australian wine regions were effected, some greater than others. The Mount Barker region was no exception with significant temperature variations against the long term average. The

months of November, December and February had the greatest variation. This advanced vine development, condensing the growing season and forwarding the commencement of vintage to be 4 weeks early than the norm.

WINEMAKING

Fruit is harvested at night then chilled and gently pressed to tank for settling. Some parcels are racked clean and fermented in stainless steel while other parcels are transferred directly to french oak barriques for fermentation. Fermentation is

carried out with select cultured yeast strains with temperatures ranging from 15 to 25°C. Post ferment, the wines remain on lees with regular battonage (lees stirring) over the following months with malolactic fermentation not encouraged. Parcels

are then carefully blended to achieve a modern and contemporary style of Chardonnay balancing between bright fruit intensity with complex savoury characters.

Winery Profile

Plantagenet takes its name not only from its home, but also from its heritage. In 1968 in a stroke of serendipity English migrant Tony Smith, himself a descendent of the Plantagenet's, invested his small inheritance in a farm called Bouverie in Western Australia’s Plantagenet Shire.

He first planted Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon followed by Riesling three years later.

The first wines from these young vines were tight and lean and showed the elegant spice and fruit characters for which this area was to become known.
