Chardonnay RS180 Twenty Twenty Two
Our petite dessert wine, Gusbourne Chardonnay RS180, is one of our cellar gems. A luscious treat. This is a wine of juicy sweetness, with vibrant and ripe fruits, from orchard and honeyed citrus to more tropical and stone fruit characters, with pineapple and apricot alongside marmalade and ginger spice notes.
Try it with dishes such as lemon tart, orange and cardamom cake or passionfruit desserts.
Our RS180’s library release 2022 vintage is now sold out. You can also register to be amongst the first to know when similar Library wines are released by joining the waitlist.

PROCESSING:
A winemaking technique called cryo-freezing created an ice wine. This process reduced around 2,000 litres to just 700 precious litres of really concentrated wine after ice was removed. To ferment this beautiful liquid we adopted classic aromatic winemaking techniques. Keeping wine in tank, at low temperatures.
