The 2025 Lenswood Chardonnay is from two historic sites. Picked early March, the first site a 40 year old I10V1 vineyard, with an East facing aspect protecting it from the afternoon sun, the second, a higher altitude site coplanted with I10V1, 76, 95 and 277. The season was warm, dry and early, leading to powerful, aromatic fruit of fuller weight. 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. Diam Closure.
