Oakridge Willowlake Vineyard Chardonnay 2017 (Yarra Valley)
"It’s now referred to as the Vineyard Series rather than as the Local Vineyard Series.
Whatever you call it, this is a beauty. It’s impressiveness is immediately apparent. Strong fruit, tight lines, complex messages that stay with you. Grapefruit and flint, oatmeal and fennel. It soars. Drastically good wine."

Known previously as Local Vineyard Series or LVS for short, as of 2017 it is now referred to as Oakridge Willowlake Vineyard Series Chardonnay. The Yarra Valley has three distinct geographic zones or sub-regions - lower warmer, middle cool and higher cooler sub-regions. We have matched particular varieties with the specific sites to give you outstanding examples of single vineyard wines.
This wine was sourced from the north facing Willowlake Vineyard, sited in the red volcanic soils of Gladysdale.
A warm spring and mild summer has resulted in excellent crops and ideal harvesting conditions. The wines have outstanding depth of flavor and structure.
A traditional winemaking approach was used to produce this wine – handpicking and whole bunch pressing directly to 500 litre French oak puncheons for a natural fermentation followed by 10 month maturation on lees. Winery Notes
