2025 L.A.S. Vino Chardonnay 'Barrels of Metricup'
The fruit hand picked, chilled, hand selected and then whole bunch pressed prior to fermentation in ten barriques, two of which were new. The wine undergoes a full malolactic fermentation with fortnightly lees stirring prior to maturation for 10 months in barrique prior to blending. The wine is bottled un-fined with a light filtration.
A complete contrast to the 'Wildberry Springs' Chardonnay due to ; sub-region, soil, climate, and fermentation vessel. The allure of creating a new very different chardonnay was too hard to pass up. A wine made with certified organic fruit and treated in the winery 'organically'.
Tasting Notes: It has warmth, weight, richness and flavour but also an incredible freshness with flavours of citrus, lemon, lime, curd, peach and stone fruit.
