Nugan Drover's Hut Chardonnay has delicate buttery oak aromas which blend with a hint of orange peel. Gentle nutmeg and vanilla spice undertones on a warm, ripe juicy finish. Well-balanced with elegant oak influence.
The Nugan Group began in 1940 when Alfredo Nugan emigrated from Spain to start a fruit and vegetable packing company. In the early 90s the group diversified by planting vineyards and selling fruit under contract; winemaking was a natural progression. Today, Alfredo’s legacy is continued as this limited release is a tribute to his vision and passion. Originally created for the Danish market where Italian wines are incredibly popular, this Amarone style wine has now gained a cult following in its homeland.
Dry warm sunny days with cool nights produce optimum fruit flavours. The fruit is crushed, destemmed and bag-pressed before undergoing slow, cool fermentation in a combination of stainless steel tanks, new French oak and one and two year old French oak. After fermentation, half of the wine remains in oak for a further 12 months maturation, undergoing fortnightly batonage to add complexity and enhance fruit and oak integration, prior to final blending and bottling.
50% in French oak, 12 months and fortnightly batonage
