Lethbridge Chardonnay 2022
Lethbridge Chardonnay 2022
- Grape Chardonnay
- Country Australia
- Region Victoria
- ABV 12.9 %
- Case size 6/ 75cl
- Producer Lethbridge
- Lethbridge Wines is a boutique producer specializing in highly terroir-driven wines from some of the best vineyards in Geelong. A delicious Chardonnay balancing rich fruit, typical minerality from the vineyard, and beautifully restrained oak.
- 100% new French oak barriques. Matured on lees for 11 months in 40% new oak. Fresh Peaches, quince, vanilla spice, and a touch of cream wound with zesty acidity. This Chardonnay should develop in the cellar over the next 5-10 years, retaining acidity and the phenolic fruit flavour developing into roast nuts and baked nectarines.
“Ray Nadeson is particularly proud of how late the Chardonnay grapes for this lovely wine were picked: 27 March after an extended growing season southwest of Melbourne in Geelong. There is only 12.5% alcohol but no shortage of refined flavour. This is as crisp and refreshing as a Granny Smith apple.” Jancis Robinson

Winery | Lethbridge Wines is a boutique producer specializing in highly terroir-driven wines from some of the best vineyards in Geelong, chosen after an exhaustive search in the mid-1990s. Owner-winemakers Ray Nadeson and Maree Collis started their careers as research scientists, then completed winemaking degrees before setting up Lethbridge. With the total quantity capped at 3,000 cases, the focus is on quality and individuality, with a strong emphasis on capturing the local terroirs. Lethbridge has built up a cult following in Australia despite being rarely seen outside Melbourne, and we are honoured to get the only overseas allocation. |
