Stormy weather in spring disrupted flowering, impacting fruit set and final yields. The resulting wines are intensely flavoured as warm summer temperatures had no problem ripening the meagre crop. The hallmark of this site is its significant acid retention due to its altitude and easterly aspect. Chardonnay from Ghostgum has pronounced flavour and acidity. The final blend is made up from two blocks: I10V1 planted on own roots in 1994 at the highest elevation of the vineyard, and I10V1 planted on own roots in 1995 at the lowest elevation of the vineyard. Both blocks were hand picked on 18th March.\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":51601115971817,"sku":"SOUCHA24-GH-6","price":500.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2435\/3999\/files\/SouthernLightVineyardsGhostgumChardonnay2024.jpg?v=1785438975","url":"https:\/\/thewineprovidore.com.au\/products\/southern-light-vineyards-ghostgum-chardonnay-2024-6pack-14-750ml","provider":"The Wine Providore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
