Another nervy, mineral and refined release from Yabby Lake’s newest venture in Tasmania. Aromas of fresh lemons, grapefruit, flint, apple blossoms, white peaches and sourdough bread. The midweight palate has a linear, precise acidity wrapped in a generous yet tightly wound mouthfeel. Seriously good for lovers of new-fashioned chardonnay. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

Chardonnay from the Yabby Lake vineyard in the Coal River Valley; whole-bunch pressed, wild ferment in 500L French oak, 20% new. Pale straw with flint-struck aromas of citrus and stone fruits. Hints of nougat, white flowers, marzipan, crushed stone, sea spray, ozone and lightly spiced oak nuance. Some light curd and cream tones meld in on the palate, fine, vivid acidity providing ample drive with a gentle umami swell on the exit.
