What a delight! Another excellent release from Lyons Will, this Chardonnay demonstrates a Chablis-esque delicacy and I just want in. Big love!
One word that best describes the wines from Lyons Will is detail. These wines are considered and layered with personality.
From their vineyards perched 520 metres above, this Chardonnay was whole bunch pressed (30%) and barrel fermented going through full malo before seeing French oak for nine months (20% new).
Swirl the glass and you are showered with interest. Oyster shell, popcorn and concentrated white fleshed nectarines lead from the front. Lemon juice, lemon sorbet and yellow grapefruit add a fabulous citrus touch with soft cashews, almonds and wafers hitching a ride. A delicate creaminess moves and sways with ease. A delicious moreishness brings the mouth to water and elevates the experience further more. Classy and then some.
