    The last of our Estate Whites from the very good to exceptionally rated 2024 vintage, this Chardonnay is typical to the Tahbilk style ... melon, white peach and citrus fruits alongside spice and butterscotch notes from its time in oak ... a most attractive and decidedly refreshing release.

    About this winei

    A little back story to our Estate Chardonnay...
    The first extensive plantings of Chardonnay took place on the Estate in 1979, although there are scattered vines identified as the varietal in a 'fruit salad' vineyard block that dates back to 1927.
    1988 was the first commercial vintage to be released and Chardonnay is the only of the Tahbilk whites to spend extended time in oak prior to bottling.

     

    Tasting Notei

    Enjoy Now to 2027/2029
    The Estate saw an early and successful harvest in 2024 with yields down but quality very good to exceptional.
    The last of our Whites from that vintage, this Chardonnay has trademark melon, white peach and citrus fruits alongside spice and butterscotch notes from its time in oak. A lively and typically Tahbilk acidity completes a most attractive and decidedly refreshing release.

    Vintage Notesi

    2024 Vintage
    Surprises aren’t really something that I like, in fact after 20 years in the wine industry, you would think that nothing surprises me anymore, but every year it seems that the season does.
    Once again there was high disease pressure, which was partly a carry-over from the previous season, compounded by the intermittent rain and weather events. There also wasn’t the heat that we have seen in previous years, no days above 40 degrees, but none-the-less the season resulted in with the whites and reds ripening at the same time, and organised chaos of vintage once again upon us.
    Our first pick was on the 12th February, and our last on the 21st March, so a speedy six weeks and we had everything into the Winery.
    Yields were overall slightly below average, but quality is looking good, with what I would consider a very good year for the whites overall and selected parcels of reds are outstanding.
    Comparing vintages seems pointless, as every year brings with it its own set of challenges, and 2024 was no different. The final decision is yours as our 2024 are released, when you will be able to enjoy for yourself the outcomes of another challenging but always rewarding, season.
