The Lightfoot & Sons Myrtle Point Chardonnay has generous stone fruit and citrus character complement the texture and complexity achieved with barrel fermentation, lees stirring and maturation in French Oak Barriques and Puncheons.

“Attention to detail in both the vineyard and winery has paid dividends: this combines elegance and intensity, balance and length. White peach and citrussy acidity soar on the finish, lingering on the very long aftertaste. All class.”

“Anything pinot noir can do, chardonnay can do better. In general. $30 is rarely ‘value’ territory but this is excellent buying, even at that price. It just gets the pitch right. Lemon curd, marzipan, white peach and smoky oak characters sit hand-in-glove in the best of ways. The finish is slightly chalky; entirely positive. Lovely chardonnay.”

“Pale mid-straw; citrus, spice and white peach are in play with a background of complexity derived from barrel fermentation and partial mlf. The palate is beautifully poised, with driving mineral acids and layers of texture and flavour. It is powerful, long and impressive. Screwcap. 13.2% alc.” – Halliday’s Wine Companion 2017

“From the Gippsland Lakes district, this wine blew me away. Firstly, it smells great. Peaches, green melon, white flower petals and struck match minerality are layered, complex and seamless. Smooth and tasty, there’s a mineral-laced line of acid that adds elegance and focus to the weight and intensity of
the flavours.” – Ben Thomas, The Weekly Review Melbourne, July 2016
