Product Description: The 2023 Yabby Lake Tasmania Coal River Chardonnay is a stunning debut from the newly acquired Tasmanian vineyard in the Coal River Valley. Handpicked in early April, the fruit was carefully handled and transferred to Yabby Lake’s winery under climate-controlled conditions. The wine underwent fermentation in 500L French oak barrels, with 20% of the barrels being new to impart subtle complexity. The resulting wine is a vibrant, textured Chardonnay, with aromas of citrus blossom, orchard fruits, and a touch of struck match. The palate is concentrated and rounded, with a perfect balance between fruit and acidity. The wine promises excellent aging potential, making it a must-try for collectors and Chardonnay enthusiasts alike. Maker: Yabby Lake was founded by the Kirby family, who are passionate about producing wines that reflect the unique character of their vineyards. Winemaker Tom Carson, with years of experience in the industry, leads the team with a deep understanding of both the land and the seasons. With a focus on crafting wines that express the purity of each vintage, Yabby Lake specialises in Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, though the estate also grows small amounts of Pinot Gris and Syrah. The team at Yabby Lake embraces a hands-on approach to viticulture, carefully selecting and handling each parcel separately to bring out the best in the fruit. The recent acquisition of a vineyard in Tasmania’s Coal River Valley marks an exciting new chapter for the winery, further expanding its capacity to produce exceptional wines with the same commitment to quality that has defined Yabby Lake since its inception. Philosophy: Yabby Lake’s winemaking philosophy revolves around creating wines that express the essence of their vineyard and the unique characteristics of each vintage. Each parcel of fruit is hand-selected, and the team takes a meticulous approach, often bottling individual parcels under the ‘Single Block Release’ label if they stand out for their distinct personality. Winemaker Tom Carson emphasises a deep understanding of the vineyards, allowing the team to make intuitive decisions that enhance the wines' expression. The winery’s commitment to quality is evident in their dedication to sustainability, with all aspects of the vineyard and winery operations focused on preserving the environment while crafting wines of exceptional character. The recent expansion into Tasmania's Coal River Valley allows Yabby Lake to continue this journey, exploring the nuances of a new terroir while maintaining their unwavering commitment to producing top-tier Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
