{"product_id":"ocean-2024-chardonnay","title":"Aunt Alice 'Ocean' 2024 Chardonnay","description":"\u003cp\u003eDiscover the 'Ocean' 2024 Chardonnay, Tasmania’s most intensely flavoured Chardonnay yet, born from a hot, dry vintage that has amplified the vineyard’s natural brightness and richness. Aromas burst with melons, nectarines, and peaches, complemented by lemon and citrus notes. At the end, creamy roasted almonds add a layer of complexity. Vibrant and fresh, this wine offers a silky texture that finishes with elegance and finesse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Information and Highlights\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol Content\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12.5%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVolume\u003c\/strong\u003e: 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tasmania (Huon Valley, Derwent Valley, Coal River Valley)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrapes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 100% Chardonnay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaking\u003c\/strong\u003e: A blend of three cool climate vineyards, with wild barrel fermentation using 10% new French oak and 90% older French oak (2nd fill, 3rd fill, etc). 33% malo provides added texture, creaminess, and length.
