Lambert Crudo Chardonnay 2024

Lambert Crudo Chardonnay is a Yarra Valley white grown on granite sand at the foot of the Denton slope.

Vines now twenty-two years old hold the east-north-east face of Denton's cone-shaped hill, rooted in granitic sand above heavy granite boulders. The 2024 was pressed as bunches and handled entirely in tank, with full malolactic conversion and no fining, filtration or more than a token of sulphur at bottling. Luke Lambert has been consistent on the point that Denton's granite reads loudest in Chardonnay, and the extra mineral depth across this range since he shifted sourcing here backs him up. Yarra Chardonnay of this seriousness at this price is not thick on the ground.

Ripe citrus and stone fruit up front, talc and flint behind, with weight in the mouth cinched tight by zippy acidity. The close is all citrus and mineral. Serve it at 11 to 12 degrees. Good alongside barbecued prawns, a chicken pie or salty pecorino.
