A delicate pale lemon colour leads onto a typically stylish Chardonnay showing fresh white peach and melon fruit with a background hint of barrel fermentation character and a soft, dry finish. This wine drinks beautifully in its vibrant youth but can be cellared with confidence for another 3-5 years where it will develop depth and complexity.
Next time you're cooking roast chicken or pork make sure you've got one of these in the fridge!
The Peter Lehmann Chardonnay philosophy is about making a delicate, soft, refreshing style and letting the natural fruit flavours come to the fore. Fruit is sourced from the low lying Barossa Valley floor to the cool, high Eden Valley delivering a wine with depth of flavour and a stylish, taut structure. Wild ferments, some French oak maturation and yeast lees stirring add a touch of complexity to this elegant wine style.
