LS Merchants Butter Barrels Chardonnay 2023 - Margaret River
Bottle size: 750ml
**New Discovery - Best Aussie Buttery Chardonnay on the market**
It all started with a phone call, a wine retailer suggested that we make some old school Chardonnay. Not that old that it is bright yellow but just enough so it is ripe, rich and buttery with a good lick of new French oak.
In stepped Butter Barrels, we source the fruit for this wine about 3-4 weeks later than the LS Merchants Chardonnay allowing the fruit time to ripen up and get nice and peachy. Wild ferment in French oak, 40% new, with liberal stirring and a big dose of malo to boost up the buttery flavours.
Aged for 8 months in oak before being racked, filtered and bottled.
Think yellow stone fruit, grapefruit pith, fresh pineapple and jasmine. Rich and full of flavour on the palate with a nice touch of oak and gentle acid giving the wine structure, depth and power! Drink now and over the next 3-5 years.
Our notes
Perfectly balanced, this is old school Chardonnay at it's best! Scott
