Yarra Yering Chardonnay 2024
In their words - Oyster shells, sea spray, and lemon citrus fruits on the nose. Finesse meets a pillowy fruit weight on the palate; fine-boned, precise citrus line in its youth, a green apple crunch for freshness, pithy interest, and a pulsating energy, it has power and extraordinary carry. The fruit is supported by a lovely powdery-chalky texture that lingers, with bright acidity giving a delicious, moreish edge.
Hand harvested grapes are chilled overnight before whole bunch pressing, yielding exceptionally high-quality juice. Fermented in 228L French oak barriques, 30% new. Both wild and cultured yeasts contribute complexity. Natural acidity is preserved by inhibiting malolactic fermentation. Aged for 10 months in our cool underground cellar before blending, then 4 months in stainless steel on full yeast lees.
