From De Bortoli Wines' prestigious Lusatia Park vineyard in the Upper Yarra Valley at Woori Yallock, the Lusatia Yarra Valley Chardonnay 2019 is a premium 100% Chardonnay sourced from mature vines planted nearly 40 years ago on deep red volcanic basalt soils at 230 meters elevation. Hand-harvested in an exceptional cool vintage, the grapes are whole-bunch pressed and barrel-fermented, followed by maturation for 9 months in a mix of new and used French oak barriques to enhance texture and complexity while preserving vibrancy. This flagship single-vineyard expression embodies sustainable practices and yields a pale straw wine with green highlights and remarkable purity.
Tasting Notes A refined, vibrant white with citrus and mineral elegance, reflecting Upper Yarra Valley's cool-climate precision. The nose unveils lemon zest, white peach, jasmine, and hints of wet stone with subtle oak. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and poised, with lively acidity, fine creamy texture, and flavors of stone fruit, grapefruit, and a touch of almond, leading to a long, mineral-driven finish.
Awards and Accolades The 2019 Lusatia Yarra Valley Chardonnay earned 95 points from James Suckling for its vibrant fruit and refined structure.
Serving and Cellaring Serve chilled at 10-12°C with 20-30 minutes of advance chilling to highlight aromas. Ideal with seafood, poultry, or creamy pasta dishes. Enjoy now through 2031, during which it will develop greater nutty and honeyed notes.
