INGOLDBY SECURES TOP GOLD IN WINE SHOW VICTORY
August 2005
Ingoldby has added another Top Gold trophy to its award winning wine stable for the stunning 2004 Ingoldby Chardonnay.
The outstanding fruit driven flavours of the 2004 Ingoldby Chardonnay wowed judges at the 2005 Bendigo Bank Royal Queensland Wine Show securing the highest accolade in its class winning Top Gold and 2 further trophies1.
Proudly crafted in the traditional McLaren Vale style, the 2004 Ingoldby Chardonnay possesses an intensely flavoured fruit palate derived from a long and dry 2004 vintage. Aromas of fig, peach and melon with hints of oak are developed into an elegant yet powerful and fruity palate with a well-balanced, creamy finish. The culmination of these superb qualities marks a major victory for the brand in this historic wine show.
Ingoldby has a proud winemaking heritage dating back over 100 years. As a region most highly regarded for Cabernet Sauvignon, Ingoldby has been traditionally associated with its full flavoured reds. Ingoldby’s flagship wine, the 2002 Ingoldby Golden Vine Reserve Shiraz has been the most widely acclaimed wine within the Ingoldby repertoire. This new win highlights a triumph for the Ingoldby winemakers in Chardonnay production; they have clearly demonstrated their talents at producing a range of extremely high quality wines against traditional expectations that full flavoured reds are best produced in this region.
Matt O’Leary Winemaker for Ingoldby said of his win “It is always a special moment to have your hard work recognised and for people to acknowledge that your wine stands out above all others in its class. I couldn’t be prouder of my winemaking team at Ingoldby.”
