COMMUNITY DIRECTORY
Pengally Lane Wines
All our wines are essentially fruit driven. The reds are all made from quality grapes in small, open fermenters. Most whites are cold tank fermented without malolactic fermentation. The Wooded Chardonnay undergoes both fermentations in oak barrels. We source the best available grapes.The wines are made with a minimum of chemical additions in accordance with modern community expectation.
We see wine as an adjunct to the enjoyment of foods and the company of others. We give some guide to what foods our wines suit; please note that this is only an opinion. You decide how you will enjoy our wines. Take care with the alcohol content of modern 'big' wines.
"Pengally Lane Wines are made in the style that is essentially fruit driven. Yeasts are chosen to promote the development of fruity esters during fermentation. Young wines are taken off lees early to preserve fruit flavours.
The wines go well with modern cuisine of simple and clean, though sometimes angular flavour combinations. The wines are more elegant and approachable rather than big and bold.
Early drinking wines have a certain freshness about them; they need to have the right combination of mid palate weight, oak characters and mouthfeel, fruit and alcohol designed into the wine. By concentrating on structure and balance from the outset, excellent wines in this particular style are achievable."
