2022 Lambert Chardonnay

2022 brought us this beautiful and delicate Chardonnay from Luke Lambert. Sourced from the Tibooburra vineyard in Yellingbo, in the southern part of the Yarra Valley. The wine saw wild yeast fermentation and wild malolactic fermentation and was matured in large, old, French oak foudre. Bottled without fining or filtration. This is a refreshing and alluring wine for enjoyment now, or for those with patience, further complexity can be gained by cellaring up to a further 10 years.
Alc. 12.5%

A picture of poise and style, the wild and free 2022 Chardonnay is a delight, with subtle popcorn, grapefruit, floral and nectarine aromas seamlessly intertwined with quality oak. Tangy, with bite, it's finely tuned and incredibly detailed, showing reserved power. Savory oatmeal and oat bran layers build, opening up with French nougat and a finish topped with subtle flinty tones. Stunning. Drink 2025-2033.
