Southern Light Vineyards Ghost Gum Vineyard Chardonnay 2024

This comes from the Mornington Peninsula in a vintage of tiny yields as a result of the weather conditions in spring impacting on flowering and fruit set. It’s an impressive wine having said all that, with excellent depth of fruit showing on the palate, which has a slightly cashew, peachy character about it. It also has good acidity, which helps define the palate and prolong a sustained finish. Despite the fact that it didn’t have malolactic fermentation, it has good palate richness as a result of it being kept on full lees for about twelve months.
