Lenton Brae Wilyabrup Chardonnay 2018

This Chardonnay receives praise for its creamy texture, balanced citrus notes, and nuanced oak integration, though some note slight acidity imbalance. Flavors range from lemon and grapefruit to vanilla and nutty undertones, with multiple vintages showing consistent complexity.

A luminous straw hue introduces this elegant Chardonnay, where the bouquet unfolds with layers of white peach, lemon curd, and a whisper of flinty minerality. On the palate, the wine reveals a harmonious interplay of creamy texture and vibrant acidity, underscored by nuances of toasted brioche and subtle hazelnut from well-judged oak integration. The finish is long and precise, echoing the wine's citrus and stone fruit core. This Chardonnay exemplifies the finesse and complexity characteristic of the Wilyabrup subregion, offering a compelling expression that stands as a benchmark for Margaret River's cool-climate style.
