In this limited magnum format, it offers an extended ageing potential and a more gradual evolution in bottle, revealing layers of texture and complexity over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVineyard and Winemaking\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eSourced from Yarra Yering’s historic estate vineyards at the foot of the Warramate Hills, the fruit benefits from gravelly, free-draining soils and a cool, elevated site that preserves natural acidity. Whole-bunch pressed juice was fermented in French oak barriques, a small proportion of which were new, with partial malolactic fermentation to add depth and roundness while maintaining purity. Lees stirring over 10 months contributed texture and complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAromas of white peach, nectarine, and lemon zest intertwine with hints of hazelnut, brioche, and struck flint. The palate is fine and tightly coiled, showing crystalline citrus and stone fruit, balanced by chalky minerality and gentle oak spice. A line of vivid acidity drives a long, seamless finish, showcasing both finesse and power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eStyle and Character\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis Chardonnay captures the precision and restraint of modern Yarra Yering winemaking, combining fruit purity with subtle oak influence and beautifully balanced texture.
