This way the Broadway Chardonnay truly captures the essence of this exceptional variety in Margaret River. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFlavours of rockmelon, pear and citrus drive the palate with layers of complexity providing the thumb print of the Evans \u0026amp; Tate house style.

A moderate summer led to ideal ripening conditions with little\u003cbr\u003edisease pressure in the vineyard and a lack of any major rain events during the ripening\u003cbr\u003eseason which can be potentially damaging. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ewinemaking\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fruit was handpicked and whole bunch pressed, with no pressings juice used in the blend. This gentle handling is critical to produce our unique Chardonnay style. The wine underwent wild fermentation in 20% new French oak barriques and puncheons. 15% of the wine underwent malolactic fermentation to achieve balance and texture. All batches remained on yeast lees for 14 months with regular stirring. Select barrels were then blended and the final blend was filtered once prior to bottling and maturation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eregion\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMargaret River\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003evariety\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChardonnay \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eanalysis\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlcohol: 13.2%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003epH: 3.24\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcidity (TA): 6.47 g\/L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[split]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFood Pairings\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRoast pork with apple sauce.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[split]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAwards\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMargaret River Wine Show 2023\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e[badge rating=\"silver\" title=\"Margaret River Wine Show 2023\"]\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Evans \u0026 Tate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42337492172870,"sku":"0521CHA23D67","price":29.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1139\/8708\/files\/ET_Broadway-Chardonnay_NV.jpg?v=1733989735","url":"https:\/\/fogartyhall.wine\/products\/e-t-2023-broadway-chardonnay","provider":"Fogarty Hall Fine Wine Estates","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
