Taste Profile:
This pale straw Chardonnay has lime colored overtones. Its nose displays tropical fruits, which are pure, heady and refreshing. On the palate it offers a big lick of tropical fruits and tangelos. It’s fresh and lively, with an attractive mid-palate creaminess, derived from 5 months on yeast lees, which wraps around the zippy back palate.
The key to understanding the RockBare label is to understand McLaren Vale. This relatively small area of South Australia is well known as a premium grape-growing region, especially of red varietals. And 100 percent of the grapes chosen for RockBare come from McLaren Vale. RockBare's winemaker, Tim Burvill, has established strong relationships with grape growers throughout the vale. So he has his choice of the best grapes the area has to offer. He then uses a winemaking process without a lot of handling or manipulation. The idea is to get the best grapes and let the fruit speak for itself. The concept is simple. The label is simple. The wines are simply great.
