Oakridge Hazeldene Chardonnay 2024

A fairly straightforward traditional winemaking technique was adopted here after hand-picking and whole bunch pressing directly into 500-litre French puncheons for all wild yeast fermentation, followed by a further 16 months on lees. This Chardonnay exhibits tremendous style and finesse with deep intensity and complexity. It has a distinct minerally quince paste character on the nose, with a palate showing a slightly limestoney edge and minerality that balances the deep fruit flavours. A most stylish and expressive Chardonnay from the Yarra Valley.
