Ian Scarborough specialises in Chardonnay, from the full-flavoured Yellow Label to the light, crisp Blue Label style, this varietal has become synonymous with Scarborough!
2007 Yellow Label
This wine is made from the Chardonnay Grapes grown on the Terra Rosa Soil on our home property, i.e. Deep friable red loam soil over a soft limestone base. The soil produces grapes of their own unique style. The grapes are picked at optimum maturity and fermented and matured in mainly new French oak casks. The secondary Malo-Lactic Fermentation runs to completion and this along with barrel mixing of lees for minimum 12 months, imparts the rich, mouth filling and buttery flavours that characterise the famous White Burgundies.
Tasting Notes

Oak: fermented and stored on lees in French oak of varying ages for 12 months
Colour: golden straw with green tinge
Nose: melon, tropical fruit and toasty characters
Palate: a strong lingering aftertaste of cashews, honey and green melon
