Peter Michael Ma Belle-Fille Chardonnay 2006 is a high-altitude white wine grown at nearly 600 metres elevation on the Peter Michael winery’s Knights Valley estate. This 2006 bottling is 100% barrel-fermented using native yeasts and aged sur lies for 12 months with weekly batonnage, resulting in a rich and multi-layered texture. It offers an opulent profile of poached apples, lemon curd and creme brulee, underpinned by a vivid mountain acidity and a persistent mineral streak. The vineyard’s marine-influenced climate and volcanic soils contribute to its remarkable aromatic intensity and structural depth. Now at a mature stage, the wine has developed complex tertiary notes of toasted nuts and spice while maintaining a crystalline clarity and an exceptionally long finish.
