Description

This is Turon White’s "Limited Series" take on Chardonnay, sourced from the cool, elevated slopes of Lenswood. It’s a more serious, structured and focused wine than his standard release, having spent ten months on lees and undergoing full malolactic fermentation.

The 2024 is a compact, elegant wine with a striking chalky texture. It starts lean with green apple and lime, but as it opens up, it reveals deeper layers of nectarine, cedar, and a touch of custard powder. There’s a distinct saline, oyster-shell character here that really drives the finish, giving the acidity a savoury, flavoured edge.

While it’s impressive now - especially after a bit of air - this has the bones to develop beautifully over the next few years. Top-tier Chardy from one of the Hills' rising stars.

95 points "A toothsome chardonnay of lighter frame, compact nature, striking, chalky texture and a crystalline mid-palate and finish... It harks back to Chablis of old. A beautiful wine." - Mike Bennie (Halliday Wine Companion)

95 points - "A toothsome chardonnay of lighter frame, compact nature, striking, chalky texture and a crystalline mid-palate and finish. Lean but flavoursome, with green apple juice, lime, saline minerality and a touch of alpine herb character. It slips along the palate elegantly and through to a long, fine point. It harks back to Chablis of old. A beautiful wine." - Mike Bennie (Halliday Wine Companion)

95 points - "Pale gold. Cashew and sharpened pencil oak over white peach, lime blossom, apricot kernel. Linear and mineral, with gentle fruit weight and steely acidity and a long saline finish driven by stone fruit, cashew and lemon curd notes that go on and on. Very good." - Melissa Moore (The Real Review)
