Yabby Lake Tasmania Coal River Chardonnay 2024

Product Description:
The Coal River Valley reveals a new dimension of Yabby Lake Chardonnay. From a single vineyard acquired in 2022, this release highlights the cool, dry season of 2024, where low yields produced fruit of balance and intensity. Known for setting benchmarks on the Mornington Peninsula, Yabby Lake now explores Tasmanian terroir with the same attention to detail and quiet precision.

Hand-picked in late March, the fruit was whole-bunch pressed and fermented naturally in large French oak puncheons, a restrained 20% of them new. Ten months on lees before bottling has shaped a wine that is both pure and layered, a Chardonnay built on freshness, texture, and measured complexity. Crafted with ageing in mind, this is a release that will reward patience as it unfurls over the next decade.
