2024 Chardonnay Sur Lie

Tasting Notes: This unoaked Chardonnay shows off the concentration and intensity characteristic of the 2024 vintage. The wine, fermented and aged exclusively in stainless steel, uses the ‘lees’ or spent yeast from the winemaking process, to add texture and flavour.

The result is a very aromatic expression of Chardonnay from our old vines that were planted in 1988. The nose is expressive with notes of ripe pear and honeydew melon, layered delicately with floral notes of apple blossom and a subtle minerality reminiscent of wet stone. On the palate, it reveals a vibrant interplay of grapefruit and lime, underscored by a refined salinity that adds complexity and depth. The lees contact imparts a rich, creamy texture that balances the wine’s bright acidity. The finish is long and lingering, echoing citrus and mineral tones.

Food Pairing Suggestions: A great pairing for this wine would be grilled chicken with a peach summer salad and seafood based appetizers or main courses.
