Oakridge Wines' LVS Willowlake Vineyard Chardonnay offers a brilliant palate experience, with its origins in the verdant Yarra Valley, Australia. This splendid wine captivates with its straw hue and tantalisingly complex aromas of ripe peaches, crisp apple, and delicate oak nuances. Upon tasting, one is met with a plethora of exquisite flavours - stone fruit, almond, and creamy vanilla, all perfectly balanced by a vibrant acidity. The impressive length confirms its outstanding quality. It's a splendid rendition of modern Australian Chardonnay, displaying the perfect combination of rich fruit characteristics and elegantly integrated oak influences. It's truly an exemplary choice for connoisseurs.

Tasting Notes

Pale straw with green hues. Grilled citrus, yeast, white fleshed stone fruit, peach skin, flecks of flint, hints of florals and burnt match complexity. The palate has depth, weight and texture. It crashes across like a wave leaving a sense on generosity and concentration but without losing its shape as the taught preserved-lemon acidity keeps it on line leaving a tangy, very long grapefruit finish.
