About This Wine
Yabby Lake's philosophy is to craft single vineyard wines of great purity and character, reflective of their site and the season in which it was grown. It’s the attention and care in the vineyard that is most critical to allowing this expression.
The 2025 season saw a welcomed return of warm and extended summer conditions, producing full flavoured wines with impeccable intensity and balance.
Producer Notes
Aroma | The Chardonnay has orchard stone fruit, grapefruit, citrus blossom, a hint of roasted almond and a lovely flinty note underlying.
Palate | The palate is youthful and intensely concentrated, there is a nice layer of almond meal and cashew nut from the barrel fermentation rounding out the fruit. There are layers of deeply textured and concentrated fruit. White stone fruit and pithy grapefruit weave through a tightly wound and piercingly intense, mineral finish that goes on and on.
Cellaring Potential | Cellar for at least five years, the wine will go well past 10 years.
