Brokenwood Lillydale Vineyard Chardonnay 2023

Lillydale Estate was established in 1975 by Alex White and Martin Grinbergs. The Chardonnay vineyard has three different clones over 2.25 hectares and is a vineyard of exceptional pedigree. The vineyard has had a number of different owners over the years and has produced wines that have won multiple trophies at local and capital city wine shows. Following the chance Brokenwood had to acquire the grapes in late 2019, this marks the third release from this renowned vineyard.
Careful winemaking has resulted in a perfect green-tinted yellow colour. Excellent complexity on the nose and palate after pressing whole bunches and a wild ferment in barrel. Roasted cashew notes from the fine French oak complement the white nectarine and grapefruit characters. A delicate and lacy Chardonnay that will evolve over the next few years.
