Singlefile Family Reserve Chardonnay 2025

Accolades

Barry Weinman, Fine Wine Club

Another cracking wine and this is, if anything, even finer and more elegant than the last. It has the same quality and intensity; however, here, the white nectarine characters are supported by subtle citrus notes. There is also a degree of minerality that comes through from the acidity. What really sets this apart is the way the fruit continues to build on the palate long after the wine has gone, with cascades of flavours flowing across the palate. The seamless finish rounds out what is a very special wine. But it will benefit from several years in the cellar, as this has been made in a tightly wound style.

Tasting Notes

• Colour: A pale golden hue, indicative of its richness and the oak maturation.
• Aromatics: A beautiful mix of lemon zest, grapefruit, and ripe nectarine. Subtle notes of roasted cashew and a faint struck match aroma add complexity.
• Palate: Full-bodied and round, with a balance of fresh citrus and stone fruit flavours. The malolactic fermentation provides a creamy mouthfeel, and the wine’s acidity keeps it lively.
• Finish: A long finish with oak adding subtle length, leaving a clean and fresh aftertaste.

Food Pairing Suggestions

• Grilled Fish: Pairs beautifully with grilled white fish such as barramundi or snapper, complementing the richness and fresh acidity.
• Roast Chicken: Works wonderfully with roast chicken or turkey, where the wine’s richness and texture can shine.
• Creamy Pastas: Try it with creamy pasta dishes, like fettuccine alfredo or seafood linguine, which highlight its creamy elements.
• Cheese: A great match for soft cheeses like camembert or triple cream brie.

Vineyard & Winemaking

• Oak Maturation: Aged for nine months in new (33%) and one-year-old French barriques, allowing subtle oak influence and a smooth, integrated texture.
• Fermentation: The wine underwent partial malolactic fermentation (25%), adding a creamy mouthfeel and contributing to its richness.
• Handpicked: The fruit was hand-picked to ensure the highest quality, ensuring the expression of the best fruit.

FAQ Wine Terms 🤔

• Malolactic Fermentation: A process where bacteria convert malic acid (found in grapes) into lactic acid, softening the wine and adding a creamy texture. It’s commonly used in Chardonnay to add richness.
• Barriques: Small French oak barrels (225L) used for aging wine. The oak imparts flavours of vanilla, spice, and toast, while also providing structure.
• Struck Match: A faint aroma of sulfur compounds that can develop during fermentation, adding complexity and a subtle, smoky quality to the wine.
• Titratable Acidity: A measure of the wine’s acidity, contributing to its crispness and freshness. This wine has a balanced level of acidity that enhances its structure and longevity.
• pH: A measure of the wine’s acidity and balance. A lower pH generally indicates more acidity, contributing to the wine’s freshness and crispness.

I've been ordering from Partners in Wine for three years now - from the UK for my sister living in Perth. Each time they've been bang on with my order including  on time delivery. Kirk has also helped me select my wines from an extensive list.  A very pleasant and friendly company to deal with. I would highly recommend them.
