Forester EstateMargaret River Lifestyle Chardonnay 2025
About this product
Grape variety - 100% Chardonnay.
Oak maturation - 6 months in 10% new, and 30% in 1-4 year old barrels.
Colour - Pale straw-green.
Aroma - Fresh with complex aromas of flint, toasty oak, grapefruit, creamy lees, roasted nuts and oatmeal. Palate - Light with a soft creamy texture and fine acidity. There are roasted nuts with lime, subtle peach and creamy lees. The finish is long with a delicate toasty finish.
Food matches - A range of light dining cuisine, an everyday wine for all occasions.
Peak drinking - Drink now.
Viticulture -Fruit is sourced from neighboring properties in the northern Yallingup sub-region of Margaret River. Direct input from Forester’s viticulturist ensures well balanced canopies and crops are grown for the ripe style desired. The 2025 vintage was a mild year for white grapes in Margaret River, allowing plenty of time during February and March to ripen the fruit to our specification.
Winemaking - Modern white wine making techniques are employed in the production of the Lifestyle Chardonnay, with temperature control considered critical from the moment the fruit reaches the winery. The fruit is de stemmed and crushed, then must chilled and pressed off skins in a very short space of time. The lightly clarified juice is then racked to barrels and stainless steel tanks for fermentation with a mix of wild and added yeast. Both tanks and barrels are stirred on yeast lees during their maturation period.
Storage and Bottling - Bottled under screwcap into a burgundy bottle.
