Lethbridge Chardonnay (2022)

375mL / Geelong, VIC / Australia

Category: Wine
Sub-Category: White Wine

Tasting Notes:

Fresh Peaches, quince, vanilla spice, and a touch of cream wound together with zesty acidity.

Lethbridge Chardonnay can be enjoyed now and should develop over the next 5-10 years in the cellar, retaining acidity and the phenolic fruit flavour developing into roast nuts and baked nectarines.

Winemaking:

Fruit was whole bunch pressed and barrel fermented in 100% new French oak barriques.

Matured on lees for 11 months in 40% new oak.

About Lethbridge Wines:

There are few tales as impressive as that of Lethbridge Wines. Ray Nadeson and Maree Collis were both successful medical researchers before succumbing to their desire to create a vineyard and winery in Geelong.

They planted vines on their own rootstocks, built a straw-bale winery and house, and farmed the land according to biodynamic beliefs. Their wines are powerful, structured, pure and long-lived.
