Warramunda Liv Zak Chardonnay 2023

Stunning stuff from the Yarra Valley, the juice undergoes a wild fermentation before spending nine months in French oak barrels, 20% new oak. The colour is a deep gleaming yellow and the wine is deeply concentrated. We have notes of cashews, stonefruit, citrus, figs and a hint of both mandarins and apricot kernels. The palate moves more to biscuity and oatmeal characters. There is excellent acidity, a lingering finish and very good length. Seamless and supple, this is really good now and will continue to offer pleasure over the next four to eight years.
