2025 Oakdene Liz's Chardonnay

Appearance
Pale straw colour.

Bouquet
Bright lifted white nectarine, lemon rind with spicy oak.

Palate
Ample fruit weight, with a fine core of white peach and citrus. Barrel ferment notes of clove and cinnamon, are balanced by pithy texture and slight phenolic grip. Refreshing acidity offers balance and adds length.

Fermentation
Chardonnay was pressed and transferred to barrel for fermentation using wild yeast. Post ferment lees stirring was conducted on a fortnightly basis. The wine underwent partial (10%) malolactic fermentation, and was matured in French oak barriques (30% new) for 11 months prior to bottling in February 2026.

Conclusion
Enjoy now with food or cellar for 4 to 8 years.
