Lamont Chardonnay 2018
Central Otago, South Island, New ZealandLamont is a family wine producer established in 1999 in Bendigo, Central Otago. This is 25 year old organically dry farmed Mendoza clone chardonnay from Minaret Peaks Vineyard, in Lake Wanaka. After whole bunch pressing, this was fermented in ceramic egg and oak barrels, with full MLF and lees stirring monthly. After ferment, this spent 11 months in barrel. Full and round on the layered palate, with white blossoms, pear, apple and white peach, swirled with cream and tensed with oak. Quite complete, ripe at 14 degrees but slimmed by a white grapefruit lacing which helps with freshness. A lingering hazelnuttiness on the finish.Tasted: 18 March 2020Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $44.99 | 750ml | private wine shops |
