2017 Ferguson Valley Chardonnay

Selected fruit from Talisman vineyard in the Ferguson Valley is hand-picked and delivered that morning to Faber. A blend of crushed and whole bunch pressed fruit is barrel fermented and then aged in 5 year old French oak for 10 months.

With the 2015 rushing out the door we’ve released this wine quite early.  But it’s looking great.  A really interesting wine in the making – we had lots of little batches that were quite different, but blended together we have come up with a rich and harmonious wine.  Toasty peach and apricot aromas, creamy rich flavour, tight acidity with excellent body and a soft finish.  This is terrific drinking.
