These two batches were kept separate until assemblage in March 2025. Grapes were whole-bunch pressed to French oak barrels (300L and 500L, 35% new), followed by indigenous fermentation and 12 months on lees, with a small amount of malolactic fermentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVINTAGE NOTES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003eThe Yarra Valley experienced another cool and wet year, with the 2024 harvest occurring slightly earlier due to mild winter weather prompting an early budburst. The weather held steady in spring, resulting in good fruit set and moderate yields. Significant rainfall in early January kept vineyard crews on their toes, but diligent work and drier conditions from mid-January through to harvest ensured a clean crop was delivered to the winery. Altitude keeps the Seven Slopes of Rising site cool, resulting in a finer style of Chardonnay with a strong, stony influence from the shallow rocky soils. The Pinot Noir is also fine boned and ethereal. The Chardonnay was hand-picked between the 23rd - 26th February.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THIS PRODUCT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Australia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yarra Valley\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2024\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVariety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chardonnay\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ealcohol volume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14.0\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eclosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cork\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003evolume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ewine style:\u003c\/strong\u003e White (Medium Bodied Oaked)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Southern Light Vineyards","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51601147101417,"sku":"SOUCHA24-LF-PER","price":123.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2435\/3999\/files\/SouthernLightVineyardsLightfallChardonnay2024.jpg?v=1785446171","url":"https:\/\/thewineprovidore.com.au\/products\/personalised-southern-light-vineyards-lightfall-chardonnay-2024-14-750ml","provider":"The Wine Providore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
