Place of Changing Winds Larderdark Chardonnay 2023, crafted by Robert Walters in the Macedon Ranges, Victoria, is a striking cool-climate white. Planted on high-density vines at 500 meters altitude on ancient Bullengarook gravel and mugearite basalt soils, the wine embodies precision and vibrancy. It features aromatics of pear, lemon zest, white flowers, and subtle toasty nuances from careful oak fermentation in French barrels. The palate is finely textured and energetic, delivering bright citrus, stone fruit, and a chalky mineral streak that delivers length and freshness. This Chardonnay exemplifies meticulous organic vineyard management combined with old world-inspired winemaking, promising both immediate enjoyment and potential for graceful aging.
