{"product_id":"cullen-kevin-john-chardonnay-australie","title":"Cullen - Kevin John Chardonnay - 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003eLocated in Wilyabrup, in the heart of Western Australia's Margaret River region, Cullen Winery benefits from a temperate maritime climate, cooled by breezes from the nearby Indian Ocean. The Chardonnay vines, cultivated using certified biodynamic methods, are planted in gravelly and clay-sand soils resting on a granite bedrock, providing natural drainage and moderate water supply. This mosaic of terroirs, combined with limited yields and meticulous viticulture, gives rise to a wine that precisely expresses the identity of Margaret River.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSourced from certified biodynamic vineyards, this Chardonnay is hand-harvested and then gently pressed as whole bunches before being transferred to barrels. Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts in oak barrels, a proportion of which are new, where the wine also undergoes malolactic fermentation. Aging continues on fine lees in barrels, with measured stirring to preserve the balance between tension, fruit purity, and aromatic complexity, before bottling at the estate.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis wine reveals notes of \u003cstrong\u003eripe citrus\u003c\/strong\u003e , \u003cstrong\u003ewhite peach\u003c\/strong\u003e , and \u003cstrong\u003ejuicy pear\u003c\/strong\u003e , complemented by delicate \u003cstrong\u003efloral\u003c\/strong\u003e touches and a subtle \u003cstrong\u003emineral\u003c\/strong\u003e dimension. \u003cstrong\u003eSpicy\u003c\/strong\u003e nuances and fine \u003cstrong\u003etoasty\u003c\/strong\u003e oak add complexity and depth.
