Lake Breeze Reserve Chardonnay 2022 (12 Bottles) Langhorne Creek

$319.00

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

The surprisingly cool, maritime conditions at Langhorne Creek allow for a slow even ripening where fresh natural acidity and 
varietal fruit characters are retained.

The grapes for the 2019 Reserve Chardonnay were picked from the most outstanding block of chardonnay on the property and gently pressed prior to barrel fermentation and maturation in French oak.

Elements of wild yeast fermentation, extended time on yeast lees and partial malo-lactic fermentation have added complexity and enhanced the natural citrus and nectarine flavours in the wine.

An elegant wine with a long and textured finish, which has the capacity to age gracefully in the bottle over the next 6 to 8 years

The Follett family have been grape growers on the famed Bremer flood plain at Langhorne Creek for over 130 years and winemakers since 1987.

The surprisingly cool, maritime conditions at Langhorne Creek allow for a slow even ripening where fresh natural acidity and varietal fruit characters are retained.

About Lake Breeze

Our Lake Breeze winery lies on the banks of the Bremer River and is surrounded by majestic river red gums and overlooks the 90 hectare (225 acre) Follett family vineyard. The vineyards are managed Tim Follett, whom Greg relies on to provide him with consistently outstanding fruit.

The varieties grown on the vineyard include cabernet sauvignon, shiraz and chardonnay, with smaller amounts of grenache, merlot, petit verdot, malbec and vermentino.

Lake Breeze selects only the best 40% of fruit from the older vines for its wines. The majority of the fruit used is carefully selected from old vines, between 50 and 55 years old, with the oldest vines being our Grenache, planted in 1932.

Our Lake Breeze cellar door has evolved further with contemporary function space, taking advantage of the stunning views across the vineyard from one of the best vantage points in the district. A great place to sit and enjoy a long lunch or the perfect venue to celebrate your special occasion.

Lake Breeze offers visitors to the region an extensive Langhorne Creek experience with cellar door tastings, lunch menu and accommodation at The Creek Cottage bed + breakfast.
