The cool climate of the ACTs Canberra District is the perfect place to grow and produce quality Chardonnay and Lerida Estate Lake George Chardonnay is a fine example. Picked early to maintain its distinctive freshness and elegance, this delicious white has a vibrant aroma of quince, nectarine and orange zest with a hint of cashew. The palate demonstrates tangy white stone fruit and grapefruit characters with a subtle mineral undertone that adds complexity. 100% barrel fermented and matured for 11 months with regular lees stirring in French oak, this is a classic, definitive Chardonnay.

High-quality wine, nectarine and white peach driving the initial impetus, grapefruit and acidity the finish; controlled barrel ferment oak the clincher.

Gruner Veltliner is a white grape variety native to Austria, Slovakia, Hungary and Czech Republic. In Australia Gruner is planted exclusively in cooler regions such as the Tumbarumba, The Adelaide Hills and Tasmania. Gruner is often compared to other varieties such Riesling with slightly more volume, texture and more approachable acidity. The texture and volume of this varietal means it is a very ver satile wine to match with foods. It is well suited to the bold flavours of Vietnamese cuisine such as summer rolls and noodle salads. Mexican foods such as fish tacos are also a great match and of course schnitzel and other fried foods. Nick Spencer Gruner Veltliner 2022 displays aromas of grapefuit, stone fruits, citrus and subtle spice. The palate is vibrant and juicy with lovely salivating acidity and texture.

Tasting Notes The Chardonnay is sourced from our western facing block. The yields are a little lower from this block which gives added intensity. The Chardonnay shows some lemon and nutmeg on the nose while it has a fresh citrus flavoured palate with a tight finish. The potential to cellar for the next 3 -5 years.

Versatile and designed to compliment food this style of Sauvignon Blanc shines. Produced from fruit grown in the western foothills of the Snowy Mountains. This Sauvignon Blanc required the full season to ripen; this long process developed intense passionfruit and pawpaw aromas, with a palate of grapefruit and fabulous natural acidity that ensures a crisp clean finish.

The 2021 Chardonnay reflects the cool year in the Hilltops. With coolness comes higher acidity. The acidity acentuates the natural fruit sugars and so the wine feels complete and balanced. This vintage went into new French Oak Puncheons and so the light oak tannins and flavours are evident.

Fume Blanc is produced from Sauvignon Blanc and is barrel fermented in french oak barriques. The beautiful Fume aroma of toasted oak is matched with tropical Sauvignon fruit.

Grown in the cool climate of Tumbarumba, the variety expresses honeysuckle and peppery notes. Wonderfully aromatic and textural.
