{"product_id":"2025-st-huberts-chardonnay","title":"2025 St Huberts Chardonnay","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eGiven the hot vintage, we ventured off the valley floor and into the Upper Yarra. This Chardonnay is a single vineyard wine from the Solitude vineyard near Yellingbo. A selection of clones was used, with around 50% being I clone and the balance Bernard 95 and 548. Whole berry pressing is employed, then high solids juice was fermented in a mixture of new and seasoned French oak. The wine spent its entire oak maturation on yeast lees and was racked just prior to blending. A small portion of the wine went through malo-lactic fermentation to add texture and aromatics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"\u003eMaturation - Fermented and matured for nine months in 100% French oak barriques, with around 38% new.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNose - The nose highlights citrus aromas of lemon zest and lime blossoms, along with pear and white peach. Hints of almond meal and nougat from barrel fermentation, along with a touch of French oak spice. A small MLF portion adds subtle brioche notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePalate - The palate is lively and citrus-dominant, with background notes of pear, white flowers and wet slate. It’s tightly wound yet balanced by mid-palate flesh that adds roundness and evenness. Juicy, restrained, and elegant, the wine is finely detailed and will gain complexity with age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-olk-copy-source=\"MailCompose\"\u003eVintage Conditions - A cool and dry winter was followed by warmer than normal flowering conditions. A hot and dry summer led to an early season and quick ripening. The warmest Yarra vintage in over 20 years.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"St Huberts","offers":[{"title":"Single Bottle","offer_id":46431738167340,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0554\/7550\/3148\/files\/StH_VR_YV_Chard_FL750_AUS_SC.png?v=1739923399","url":"https:\/\/www.noteswine.com.au\/products\/2025-st-huberts-chardonnay","provider":"Notes Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
