The Woodridge label highlights classic styles made with care and restraint, allowing the fruit and vineyard site to shine. This Adelaide Hills Chardonnay reflects Nova Vitas cool-climate approach, delivering freshness and structure rather than heaviness. Region and Vintage Conditions The Adelaide Hills is well known for producing Chardonnay with natural acidity and flavour definition due to its cooler climate. The 2017 vintage experienced mild temperatures and a long ripening period, allowing the grapes to develop flavour while maintaining freshness and balance. Winemaking Techniques Chardonnay fruit was harvested at optimal ripeness and fermented to preserve fruit character. Oak influence was used with restraint to add texture and subtle complexity without overwhelming the wine. The winemaking approach focused on balance, clarity, and drinkability.
