{"product_id":"2025-felton-road-block-2-chardonnay","title":"2025 Felton Road Block 2 Chardonnay","description":"\u003cp\u003eFelton Road’s Block 2 Chardonnay comes from some of the estate’s earliest plantings, with own-rooted Mendoza vines dating back to 1992. More than three decades on, this small corner of The Elms vineyard gives Blair Walter a Chardonnay distinguished by its freshness and fine detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe organically and biodynamically farmed vines grow on an east-facing slope of deep schist gravels. They handled the dry 2025 summer well, with cooler nights towards harvest helping retain acidity as the flavours developed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhole-bunch pressed fruit fermented naturally in seasoned French oak, with no new barrels used. Full malolactic fermentation and 17 months in barrel, including eleven on fermentation lees, built texture before bottling without fining or filtration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFloral notes, lemon and fresh herbs give it a delicate aromatic character, while the palate unfolds gradually towards a dry, chalky finish. The appeal is in the balance: mature-vine depth and lees texture carried by bright acidity, with plenty of detail to discover as it opens. If only we had more stock! Always sells out in a flash - don't sleep.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Felton Road","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67955997671467,"sku":"2025 Felton Road Block 2 Chardonnay","price":95.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2572\/9722\/files\/2025FeltonRoadBlock2Chardonnay.png?v=1792649197","url":"https:\/\/www.differentdrop.com\/products\/2025-felton-road-block-2-chardonnay","provider":"Different Drop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
