Tasting Notes
Delivery

We are constantly on the search for quality Chardonnay to retail at less than $20 and very rarely do we find something that has had the works in the winery. Leveret Estate is partially barrel fermented with wild yeast, and is then left to mature in barrel for 9 months with regular lees stirring. The result is worthy of many more dollars as this is rich and full Chardonnay with ripe stonefruit characters tempered with a slice of citrus, a lovely little touch of struck match complexity and a gorgeously decadent creaminess.

Winery notes (2023 Vintage)
"Aromas of ripe stone fruit, honeysuckle and deft oak. The palate displays grapefruit and red apple, rounded off with vanilla notes and integrated with a toasty oak finish. This wine is drinking well now but will cellar for up to eight years +.

This wine is from Chardonnay grapes grown in our Riverview vineyard. The grapes for this wine is a combination of hand and select machine harvesting. After being transported to our Riverview winery, and after a light press a portion of the juice was transferred direct to barrel where it was allowed to undergo wild fermentation. The remaining juice was cold settled for 24 hours before being inoculated with selected yeasts and sent to barrel, with a total of 27% new French oak. Following fermentation, the 30% of wine was inoculated for Malolactic fermentation. After approximately 10 months in oak, the wine was transferred to our Katikati winery for finishing and bottling in November 2024.."

Reviews for previous vintage

92/100 Cameron Douglas MS, June 2023 (2022 Vintage)
"There’s no mistaking the fragrances of sweet oak and baking spices as the aromas invade the palate. Scents of roasted fresh peaches and nectarines along with baked apples and citrus fruits follow. On the palate a fuller-bodied satin textured wine with fruit flavours that mirror the bouquet. Acidity layers on for contrast and the oak along with some finer tannins follow. Balanced and well made, ready to drink from day of purchase through 2027."
