White WineDarling Estate Aligoté 2022
Family estate vineyard, fermented in French barriques.
"Aligoté, the 'other' white wine from Burgundy. Historically treated as the poor cousin to Chardonnay, we're enjoying seeing that change. We grafted around 2015 becoming one of only 3 vineyards growing the variety at the time. We love it for its acid profile and pear fruits and the way it can take on a little golden hue in the vineyard depending on sun exposure.
The 2022 was wild fermented, aged on lees for 12 months in a combination of old oak barrels and ceramic. Delicate pears, beautiful acid and a generous palate.
Awarded gold at the North East Victorian Wine Challenge 2023." - Darling Estate
