[SOLD-OUT] Luke Lambert Chardonnay 2021

 

"The 2021 Lambert Chardonnay draws you into the glass like a siren call, with generous, pithy stone fruits, steely minerality, swishes of salinity and a touch of struck match. There’s a light tread, an elegance and a finesse, all sitting above an undercurrent of skinsy tension, a dashing mouthfeel and perfectly rendered acidity. It's not overtly fruit-forward, it never is, relying more on structure, texture and presence. It oozes depth, with a pulsating, savoury finish.

You can’t have a perfect vintage, but you can get pretty bloody close. 2021 was a benign year with consistent ripening and enough sunlight to inject great power and intensity into the fruit. It’s a year that allows you to taste the health of the sites and the vineyard behind the wine. The 2021 was sourced from two plots in the Tibooburra vineyard, which is in the southeast corner of the valley, near Gembrook. Tibooburra might be the coolest site in the Yarra and was planted in 2001. The combination of fruit from both blocks enhances the wine’s texture while retaining coolness and elegance." - Luke Lambert

 

“In an unassuming shed near this small town in the center of the Yarra Valley, just northeast of Melbourne, Luke Lambert makes gorgeous, minerally chardonnays and perfumed, savory syrahs under the Luke Lambert label. The wines are fresh and energetic… They are the sorts of wines I love to drink — pure and unpretentious but with character and depth.” - Eric Asimov, The New York Times
