Levantine Hill Estate Range Chardonnay 2022 750ml
Levantine Hill Estate Range Chardonnay 2022 is a premium cool-climate Australian white wine from the Yarra Valley in Victoria. Made from 100% Chardonnay grown on the Levantine Hill estate, the wine expresses the region's combination of freshness, richness, texture and elegance.
The 2022 vintage delivers a generous yet refined style, combining white nectarine, quince, Golden Delicious apple and citrus characters with delicate floral, herbal and nutty nuances. A combination of premium French oak maturation and lees ageing contributes creamy texture, subtle toast and pastry complexity while maintaining freshness and balance.
The wine is crafted in Levantine Hill's distinctive house style, which embraces greater body and palate weight while retaining structure and measured acidity. The result is a layered and sophisticated Chardonnay with excellent texture, concentration and length.
