2019 Lethbridge Chardonnay

The fruit for this wine comes from the Suma Park Vineyard on the Bellarine Peninsula.

All hand-picked, the grapes were whole bunch pressed into 100% new French oak puncheons for fermentation and MLF by indigenous yeast on full solids. The wine components were then matured in 35% new French oak puncheons and 65% one-year old French oak barrels on gross lees for a further 11 months prior to blending and bottling.

Tasting Note: Fresh nectarine, hazelnut, ginger spice and a touch of cream wound together with zesty acidity. This Chardonnay should develop over the next 5-10 years in the cellar, retaining acidity and the fruit flavour developing into grilled nuts and baked nectarines.
