"Released from Lethbridge's cellar with 10 years bottle maturation. Sourced from the ultra low yielding Rebenburg vineyard at Mount Duneen, the tiny volume of grapes are handpicked, whole bunch pressed to ferment naturally in new oak, with 15 months maturation on gross lees.
The pursuit of rich flavour rewards after all these years in bottle. There's an array of ripe and dried stone fruit with oak-derived flavours playing out now as butter-toasted nuts, almond and vanilla brulee. Creamy, slippery and absolutely charming, this Allegra 2014 is not showing any hints of falling over any time soon. However, it tastes as it should - that being a grand, mature Chardonnay, kept precise with a mineral acid backbone, but allowed to flesh out and show all the complexity of great aged Australian Chardonnay." - Wine House
