Details and technical informations about Winery Wignalls's Chardonnay.
Discover the grape variety: Catarratto bianco lucido
Lively, fruity whites with a pale golden robe, an airy palate with more pronounced acidity than Catarratto Comune, and signature aromas of citrus (lemon, citron), white flowers and Mediterranean notes. Used as a single varietal or in blends, it is the base of many Sicilia DOC whites and traditional Marsala DOC. A variation of the indigenous Sicilian Catarratto with tighter clusters and shiny berries.

The wine region of Albany
GI sub-region of Great Southern (Western Australia, ~70 ha) on the south coast around Albany: Pinot Noir is the signature with a refined cool-climate profile, elegant Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Riesling and Shiraz as complements. Temperate Mediterranean climate moderated by the "Albany Doctor" — a sea breeze arriving daily at 1 pm, humidity ~85%. Lateritic, sandy-gravelly and sandy-loamy soils on gneiss bedrock.
The wine region of Australie de l'Ouest
Australian premium on Margaret River. Signature Bordeaux Cabernet-Merlot blends in red: deep and refined with notes of ripe blackcurrant, eucalyptus, cedar and graphite, firm tannins and great ageing, often compared to Médoc. Chardonnay rated Australia's best: taut, saline and mineral (lemon, hazelnut, brioche). Lively Sauvignon-Sémillon (citrus, cut grass).
The word of the wine: Anthocyanins
Phenolic compounds present in the skin of grapes that give colour to red wines during maceration.
