From De Bortoli Wines' prestigious Lusatia Park vineyard in the Upper Yarra Valley at Woori Yallock, the PHI Yarra Valley Chardonnay 2022 is a premium 100% Chardonnay sourced from mature vines planted nearly 40 years ago on deep red volcanic basalt soils at elevation. Hand-harvested in an ideal 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 build texture and complexity while preserving vibrancy. This single-vineyard expression, named PHI for its philosophical depth, embodies sustainable practices and yields a bright green-gold wine with remarkable purity and energy.
Tasting Notes A precise, elegant white with stone fruit and flinty minerality, reflecting Yarra Valley's cool-climate finesse. The nose reveals delicate white peach, grapefruit, jasmine, and hints of flint and subtle oak. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and poised, with vibrant acidity, fine creamy texture, and flavors of yellow pear, white nectarine, and a touch of cashew, leading to a textured, refreshing finish.
Awards and Accolades The 2022 PHI Yarra Valley Chardonnay earned 17 points from JancisRobinson.com for its purity of flavor and lovely shape.
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 2032, during which it will develop greater nutty and honeyed notes.
