2023 L.A.S Vino ‘Wildberry Springs' Chardonnay
Nick Peterkin at L.A.S Vino Wins - Ray Jordan’s Winemaker of the Year!!
96 points, The Real Review (Huon Hooke)
"Generous smoky/flinty reduction overlying ripe grapefruit aromas —a classic Gin Gin clone wine. Superb fruit: very regional and very Gin Gin. Powerful flavour teamed with refinement and penetrating length. A real finesse chardonnay and quite superb."
95 points, The Wine Front (Mike Bennie)
"Fermented in amphora and barrels, half and half. Of the oak, 30% is new. Gin gin clone, for the clone spotters. Lees stirring employed. A very lively chardonnay, set to medium weight, a strong sense of minerality running through the wine. Scents of ozone, sea spray, margaritas with salt rims, tonic water and bay leaf. A beauty to sniff on. Flavours sway between limey margaritas, tonic, sweet lemon and light gingery spice. It's got this pleasing saline, talc and briny chew to it too. Really good drinking here."
