Lismore - Chardonnay 2022

Vitt vin från Sydafrika

« The latest releases are exemplary, especially the Estate Reserve Chardonnay that is, dare I say, almost Corton-Charlemagne-like in style, a fabulous Syrah from both Elgin and Greyton fruit and a spine-tingling 2017 Estate Reserve Syrah that exudes potential. Is there nothing Samantha cannot do? »

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Offering a slight kiss of oak, the 2022 Chardonnay delivers brilliant and seductive elements of lemon pastry cream while showing impressive depth and precision. Medium-bodied, the mouthfeel is succulent and crisp with a juicy expression of ripe citrus and pomaceous character. The wine is beautifully balanced and ends with a delightfully lingering, food-friendly finish. Only 14,500 bottles were produced.

Tasting note

This very special Chardonnay was made in the style of a traditional Burgundian Chablis.    It shows intense citrus and soft fruit layered with brioche, honey and walnut carried by a distinct  minerality and crisp acidity with a lingering citrus finish. 

The grapes were picked at optimal ripeness and whole bunch pressed, slowly extracting the juice at a rate of 600ltrs per ton.  The juice was cold settled for 48 hours and was racked into 225, 300 and 500 litre older burgundian barrels for fermentation and 11 months of maturation.  5% new French oak was used in this vintage. Balance is the key to this wine. 

The oaking represents a viewpoint that the fruit/acid/pH must drive a wine's flavour and not the over-emphasis on highly extracted buttery notes derived from new barrels and 100% Malolactic conversion.  That being said the barrel aging gives this wine its luxurious texture. Having only undergone partial MLF (20%), the wine retains its original fruitiness and fresh acidity.  These elements combined allow for years of storage and maturation.
