This is a finely structured, cool-climate Chardonnay sourced from the very low-yielding, schist soils of Drumborg in Henty. Hand-harvested fruit is whole-pressed and wild-fermented in French oak (with 100% new oak fermentation and 50% new oak maturation), followed by full malolactic fermentation for added depth and texture. The fruit for Lethbridge's Pinot Gris and Riesling has, for many years, been sourced from this region, which has more recently produced delicious Pinot Noir as well. It has also long been a great source of fruit for sparkling wines, the style for which the region was originally planted. As noted by the winemakers, "In recent years, as the climate continues to warm, we have seen some great character in the Chardonnay fruit from Jack and Lois Doeven's vineyard, and rather than pick it all early for sparkling wine, we have decided to go all out and make a 'nothing spared' Chardonnay. This wine is flinty, minerally and has beautiful acidity reminiscent of somewhere in the old world that we are not allowed to mention, so taste for yourself and see."
