Description

Leeuwin Estate Prelude Vineyards Chardonnay 2023

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Chardonnay from Margaret River, Australia

Taste Profile: Aromatically, this wine opens with notes of nashi pear, lime, and nectarine, underpinned by delicate florals and a subtle touch of brioche. The palate is bright and concentrated, with layers of white peach, lemon curd, and sweet spice, all tied together with a refreshing mineral backbone and vibrant acidity

Buttery & Honeyed Whites

Full-bodied fruit and spice, often with the ability to age. This style usually relies on new oak to impart vanilla driven characteristics. Malolactic fermentation & on lees ageing also contributes to the texture
