Yarra Yering Crécy Chardonnay 2024
The Crécy block is planted to a combination of impressive modern Chardonnay clones alongside our traditional old vine Yarra Yering clone. There are 7 unique plantings of clone and rootstock in this block. This blend comprises 35% old vine clone, 35% clone 548 and 30% clone 95.
Hand harvested, the pristine bunches were chilled overnight and then whole bunch pressed for the finest quality juice. The unclarified juice was sent directly to barrel for fermentation and then maturation, all French oak with 40% new barrels and 100% malolactic fermentation. Left on full yeast lees untouched for 10 months, then 4 months blended to tank on the primary yeast lees to build complexity, weight and texture into the palate before bottling.
Pop a few of this wine into your stash and you’d be doing well. It’s built to age well. It tastes of nectarine and brine, wax, honey-cream, subtle herbs and preserved lemon, but it’s the taut control of it, and the air of confidence, that really wins you over. This is excellent, but I wouldn’t touch it for a few more years. 95 Points - Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front
