{"product_id":"garagiste-tuerong-chardonnay-2025","title":"Garagiste Tuerong Chardonnay 2025","description":"\u003cp sugg=\"true\"\u003ePlanted in the late ‘80s, Tuerong is the oldest site Barney works with. The Chardonnay here is always picked first, providing a barometer for the progression of the rest of the vintage. The opportunity to work with the site came up in 2012, and immediately “had a good feel to it”. It’s his aspirational site, providing high-quality fruit that gets better every year. The fruit is hand-harvested from 34-year-old, dry-grown, north-facing vines in grey-black sandy soils over brown sandy loam.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp sugg=\"true\"\u003eThe fruit was picked by hand and pressed as bunches for fermentation in second- and third-fill 500-litre puncheons. The wine rested on full gross lees with no bâtonnage for nine months before bottling. Enticing struck-match reduction makes way for a glade of summer citrus, spring florals, salt flecks, and a lovely doughy\/leesy character. It’s vibrant and pure, with plenty of fleshy weight stitched by mouthwatering acidity and sinewy phenolics. Great length and drive, too: it’s got it all.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garagiste","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49708412371172,"sku":"26467-750","price":55.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0648\/2575\/3828\/files\/96a49a61-889f-f111-ad59-0ac0955cf5ff_26467-750_..png?v=1787556228","url":"https:\/\/www.internationalfinewines.com.au\/products\/garagiste-tuerong-chardonnay-2025","provider":"International Fine Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
