The 2024 Lenswood Chardonnay is a single vineyard wine. This wine was picked on the 27th of March, from a 40 year old I10V1 vineyard, with an East facing aspect protecting it from the afternoon sun. The season was warmer than the previous 3 years, returning to the long term average, leading to a richer, more powerful expression of our Chardonnay. The fruit was whole bunch pressed and settled overnight without additions, before barrelling down with solids to 25% new oak for a wild fermentation. No sulfur was added until malo naturally completed in the late spring. This allowed bottling without the need for fining or filtration after 9 months maturation.
