2023 L.A.S Vino Margaret River Chardonnay 750ml

The latest creation from the team at L.A.S. Vino, this Chardonnay is crafted with hand-picked fruit that is cold-pressed as whole bunches. The grapes are sourced from three Margaret River vineyards located in Willyabrup, Metricup, and Treeton, featuring a blend of 90% Gin-Gin and 10% Clone 3. Fermentation and maturation take place in barriques (5% new), with partial malolactic fermentation and fortnightly lees stirring before blending and bottling. Reviews 2023 L.A.S. Vino Chardonnay – WINE OF THE WEEK Nic Peterkin has crafted two pricier Chardonnays from the 2023 vintage—Metricup and Wildberry Springs—but this wine delivers exceptional value. Aromas of nutty nougat, wheaty notes, and honey evolve to include buttery hints with time in the glass. The palate is complex yet restrained, finishing medium-long and harmoniously. A superb, slightly lighter style compared to its single-vineyard counterparts. 93 points – Huon Hooke, The Real Review 2023 L.A.S. Vino Chardonnay This Chardonnay is rich and textured, delivering full flavor and remarkable energy. Layers of sweet spices, stone fruits, gingery notes, nougat, and a hint of sugared almond create a compelling palate. It’s both potent and elegant, with a commanding presence and a sense of finesse. A standout wine. 93 points – Mike Bennie, The Wine Front
