Peter Lehmann Chardonnay
Filed in archive Australian Wines by tammy on October 04, 2006

Since I'm trying to broaden my white wine experience, I accepted, but of course, these went to the back for the fridge where they sat for some time until I was in the mood. In other words, I was out of red wine and not ready to break into any of the good stuff.
For a chardonnay it was okay, not any worse, maybe a little better than the last time I remember drinking it.
Here are the tasting notes from the company web site: The Peter Lehmann chardonnay philosophy is very much about making a delicate, soft refreshing style of wine with accent on the primary fruit flavours.
Oak fermentation and maturation is used very sparingly; just 10% of the blend is fermented in new French oak using only wild yeast, followed by 6 months lees contact which gives a beautiful textural creaminess on the palate and adds complexity to the clean fruit characters.
The carefully selected blend of Barossa Valley with the higher hills Eden Valley Chardonnay vineyards gives a wine with good depth of fruit and a stylish, taut structure.
