Wonderful purity is obvious initially on the nose with fruit driven aromas of melon, peach and a slight hint of nut. Lovely citrus flavours with an array of fruits including, peach, nectarine and melon developing into a secondary layer of flavours of fig, lees and a touch of oak provide a creamy touch. Tight and focused on the finish with great depth of flavour and a lovely touch of natural fruit acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWinemaking\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrapes were harvested in individual batches to select only the finest quality fruit and minimize losses due to the small tonnes grown. The picking occurred from a single vineyard located in the Cooler Southern Barossa region of Rowland Flat. The wine was crushed and fermented with 20% of the blend receiving oak fermentation with frequent lees stirring. The two parcels were blended together and bottled to retain fruit driven flavours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRegion\u003c\/b\u003e Barossa Valley, South Australia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCellaring\u003c\/b\u003e Drink now or cellar for the next 3-5 years\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlcohol\u003c\/b\u003e 12.5%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAccolades\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 27.1739%;\"\u003e2023 Vintage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 70.2899%;\"\u003eSam Kim, Wine Orbit - 93 Point Rated \u0026amp; 5 Stars\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 27.1739%;\"\u003e2023 Vintage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 70.2899%;\"\u003eAustralian Wine Showcase Magazine - 94 Point Rated\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 27.1739%;\"\u003e2023 Vintage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 70.2899%;\"\u003eAustralian Wine Showcase Magazine - Gold Medal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 27.1739%;\"\u003e2022 Vintage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 70.2899%;\"\u003eWine Showcase Magazine - 94 POINTS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 27.1739%;\"\u003e2020 Vintage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 70.2899%;\"\u003eWine Showcase Magazine - 94 POINTS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 27.1739%;\"\u003e2017 Vintage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 70.2899%;\"\u003eWine Showcase Magazine 2018 - GOLD Medal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 27.1739%;\"\u003e2014 Vintage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 70.2899%;\"\u003eCWSA 2016 Best Value - GOLD Medal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 27.1739%;\"\u003e2014 Vintage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 70.2899%;\"\u003eSan Francisco International Wine Competition 2015 - SILVER Medal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 27.1739%;\"\u003e2012 Vintage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 70.2899%;\"\u003eInternational Wine Challenge, London 2013 - SILVER Medal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 27.1739%;\"\u003e2012 Vintage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 70.2899%;\"\u003eCWSA 2013 Best Value - GOLD Medal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 27.1739%;\"\u003e2012 Vintage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 70.2899%;\"\u003eWine Showcase Magazine, August 2013 - 91 POINTS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 27.1739%;\"\u003e2012 Vintage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 70.2899%;\"\u003eWine Showcase Magazine, April 2013 - 91 POINTS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 27.1739%;\"\u003e2011 Vintage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 70.2899%;\"\u003eAWC Vienna 2014 - SILVER Medal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 27.1739%;\"\u003e2011 Vintage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 70.2899%;\"\u003eCWSA 2014 Best Value - GOLD Medal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Secure Checkout","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46696478474478,"sku":"16163","price":35.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0715\/9152\/6638\/files\/Exodus-Chardonnay.png?v=1751416236","url":"https:\/\/pww-secure-checkout.myshopify.com\/products\/the-colonial-estate-exodus-barossa-valley-chardonnay-2023","provider":"Secure Checkout","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
