The Red Claw Chardonnay 2024 is a true expression of the cool, late vintage that graced the season. With low yields and impeccable balance, this wine boasts an intensity and persistence that makes it stand out. Hand harvested between 16-30 March, the fruit was carefully pressed and fermented in small batches in French oak puncheons. The wine was aged for six months on yeast lees, enhancing its texture and complexity. This Chardonnay is bright and lively, with an inviting pale straw colour, and offers pure aromas of clean citrus, stone fruit, and a hint of spicy French oak. The palate is tightly focused, delivering a harmonious balance and a long, lingering finish. Best enjoyed over the next 3-4 years, this wine exemplifies the Yabby Lake philosophy of creating wines of great purity and character.
