Choice Adelaide Hills sites are called upon at vintage time to contribute the pick of their fruit for Jacobs Creek Reserve. The dedicated winemaking team will have already spent much time working alongside growers and tasting grapes as they ripen on the vine. Wild indigenous barrel ferments in fine French oak, malolactics and lees stirring, create a remarkable white wine of powerful fruit richness and mesmerising complexity, all within a balanced and modern style of Adelaide Hills Chardonnay.
Vibrant yellow hues. Gorgeous, fragrant and attractive fruit aromas of lemon blossoms, white peach and nectarine, layered with cashew vanillin oak. Touch of barrel ferment character and butteryness from malolactic add interest. The palate is zesty, complex and long with loads of flavour. Great fruit intensity, a creamy soft mouthfeel, integrated oak and a fine tight acid structure all contribute to a superb wine.
