L.A.S. Vino 2025 Chardonnay 'Barrels of Metricup'
An incredible, certified organic vineyard in the heart of Metricup, Margaret River. Twenty four year old gin-gin chardonnay grown in a sandy loam topsoil over a mottled clay subsoil.
The fruit was handpicked, chilled, hand selected and then whole bunch pressed prior to fermentation in ten barriques, two of which were new. The wine underwent a full malolactic fermentation with fortnightly lees stirring prior to maturation for 10 months in barrique prior to blending. The wine was bottled unfined with a light filtration.
A complete contrast to the 'Wildberry Springs' Chardonnay due to sub-region, soil, climate, and fermentation vessel. A wine made with certified organic fruit and treated in the winery 'organically'.
Tasting Notes: It has warmth, weight, richness and flavor but also an incredible freshness with flavors of citrus, lemon, lime, curd, peach and stone fruit.
