Richness, texture and measured acidity define the Levantine Hill Estate Chardonnay 2022, a full-flavoured expression from Victoria’s Yarra Valley. Produced entirely from estate-grown Chardonnay, the wine reflects Levantine Hill’s preference for body and palate weight balanced by structure and freshness. The fruit was harvested between 28 February and 14 March 2022 from the estate’s Maroondah Highway vineyard. Its clonal composition includes I10V5, P58, Mendoza, Bernard 96 and Bernard 95 Chardonnay. Every vineyard block was harvested by hand, meticulously sorted and whole-bunch pressed. The freshly pressed juice was settled overnight before being coarsely racked directly into barrel.
Fermentation incorporated both indigenous and inoculated yeasts, allowing individual parcels to contribute different dimensions of aroma and texture. The wine was fermented and matured for 11 months in French oak vessels ranging from 228 to 2,280 litres, with 6% new oak and 20% second-fill oak. It remained on lees during maturation with only minimal stirring, while selected barrels completed full malolactic fermentation. This considered approach produces a broader and more textural style than many contemporary, fine-boned Yarra Valley Chardonnays. Aromatically, it combines white nectarine, chalk and oyster shell with savoury herbs, toasted nuts, crème anglaise and pastry. The palate is rich and silky, bringing together quince, Golden Delicious apple, chamomile, almond meal and subtle vanilla over a defined line of acidity. Concentration and freshness are maintained through the persistent finish, giving the wine an official ageing potential of more than 15 years.

Yarra Valley Wine
The Yarra Valley wine region is the most important area of wine production in Victoria today, and with its proximity to Melbourne, also the most visited in the state.
Yarra Valley is split into the Upper Yarra and the valley floor. The Upper Yarra is cooler in climate due to its elevation and coupled with younger, fertile, red soils produces most of the region’s notable varietals: Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The valley floor is warmer and has predominantly grey soils with pockets of granite and limestone.
Pinot noir has long been considered a notoriously difficult variety to grow. However, the cool climate and longer growing seasons of the Yarra Valley allow the fruit to develop full flavoured and ripe character.
Chardonnay in the past has long been associated with a deep oily, buttery style that experiences full malolactic fermentation and great amounts of oak. This style has since fallen out of favour and wine makers in the Yarra Valley have capitalized on this trend to produce leaner, acid driven Chardonnays that are closer in style to those from Burgundy.
