Lethbridge Chardonnay 2024 is a pristine, elegant wine from the Geelong region, showcasing the hallmark finesse of the cooler climate. The 2024 vintage, crafted by Ray Nadeson, features wild yeast fermentation in new French oak barrels with 100% malolactic fermentation and maturation on fine lees in a mix of large foudre and older French oak puncheons. It presents a beautifully clean nose with ripe melon, lemon zest, and white peach aromas, complemented by subtle vanilla and toasty oak. The palate is rich yet balanced with creamy texture, bright acidity, and nuanced spice, closing with a long, fresh finish. This Chardonnay is perfect for pairing with roast chicken and seafood and can be enjoyed now or over the next 5-7 years.
