Charles Sturt University Winery represents the same environment as other commercial Australian wineries. CSU provides stimulating training for those students fortunate enough to be employed through winery scholarship. Being a fully market driven operation, it produces the quality and style of wines that obtain ready acceptance from discerning wine consumers in the open market place. Wines made at the University have been awarded multiple trophies and hundreds of gold medals at national wine shows. Most of the Chardonnay is vinified under strict temperature controls to retain the fresh fruit flavours. A further component has been fermented in French oak for added complexity.
TASTING NOTES
Pale straw yellow colour. Bouquet of pear, stonefruits and white nectarine. The palate is full and rounded with grapefruits and peach, lemon citrus and stonefruit flavours. The palate is lively and multi dimensional, offering not only very fine flavours but super texture and mouthfeel. Essentially a fruit driven wine with long crisp acid finish, a touch of complexity is derived from partial ferments in French oak.
