Thorn-Clarke, a name synonymous with quality winemaking in South Australia, proudly presents the Milton Park Chardonnay. Located in South Australia, Milton Park is home to the Thorn-Clarke winery, a family-owned establishment with six generations of grape growing and winemaking heritage. The Milton Park range, which includes this exquisite Chardonnay, is crafted from grapes sourced from both estate vineyards and select vineyard sites across South Australia. This ensures a consistent quality year after year.
The wine's creation process is meticulous. After being crushed and de-stemmed, the grapes are pressed using a membrane press. The fermentation is kept slow and cool to retain all natural flavours and aromatic qualities. The juice undergoes fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a cool temperature, ensuring the wine remains a true expression of the grape and terroir from which it was made.
