2024 Lethbridge Ooh La La Chardonnay
WINEMAKER: Ray Nadeson & Maree Collise
VARIETY: Chardonnay
REGION: Geelong, VIC.
VITICULTURE: Organic, Biodynamic
The cool summer produced grapes with high and refreshing levels of acidity. Free run juice was barrel fermented in new French oak using wild yeast. Matured on fine lees in a mixture of 1300L foudre and 500L older French oak puncheons. The wine underwent 100% wild malolactctic fermentation.
A beautifully clean, pure nose of ripe melon, lemon zest, white peach with a lick of vanilla and toast from the oak. This has texture balanced with a mouth-watering acidity giving a classic, elegant style of Chardonnay to suit all occasions.
