2022 Yabby Lake Single Vineyard Chardonnay
Description
WINEMAKER: Tom Carson
REGION: Mornington Peninsula, VIC
VARIETAL: Chardonnay
VITICULTURE: Sustainable
Hand picked between 4-9 March. Some parcels were crushed and some whole bunch pressed. The juice was transerred to 500 litre French oak barrels for natural fermentation. A 25% portion of which were new. The wines were aged on lees in oak for a further 11 months, prior to estate bottling in late January 2023.
The potential of this wine is apparent from the first time you look at it. The colour is super bright with green tints, the aromas are fresh, pure and intense. Grapefruit, citrus blossom and a hint of lime, with a lovely flinty note underlying. There is a nice layer of almond meal and cashew nut from the barrel fermentation. The palate is intense with layers of deeply textured and concentrated fruit. White stone fruit and pithy grapefruit weave through a tightly wound and piercingly intense mineral finish that goes on and on. Cellar for at lease five years, the wine will go well past 10 years.
