Lyon's Will Estate - Chardonnay

This single block basket pressed wine is picked at dawn to preserve freshness. Destemmed and placed into a wooden press with the stalks, the juice is then pumped into French barriques with gross lees and left to ferment naturally.

​Very little is done to the Chardonnay between pressing and settling, and it typically does not see full malolactic fermentation. After 11 months barrel aging it is moved into a settling tank, where it is lightly fined. Racked a few weeks later the Chardonnay is coarsely filtered before bottling. It sees six to eight months bottle aging prior to release.

Lyon's Will Estate is an 18 acre boutique winery, located in the Macedon Ranges, growing, producing, and bottling every aspect aspect of their land and environment in each bottle.
