The name "Levantine Hill" draws inspiration from the Levant, derived from the French word ‘rise,’ symbolizing the ancient lands along the Eastern Mediterranean where the sun rises. Our winemaker has delicately crafted these cool-climate, classic Yarra Valley varietals to be enjoyed now, while also possessing the potential for aging. Each Levant wine is a distinctive reflection of the vintage, showcasing the Yarra Valley as an internationally acclaimed cool-climate wine region.
This Chardonnay, with its aromas of orange blossom, Meyer lemon, and subtle savoury notes, offers a deep, flavourful palate with refreshing acidity and the promise of five or more years of aging potential.
Grapes were whole-bunch pressed. Juice settled overnight, then coarsely racked to foudre and smaller format for barrel fermentation. The resultant wines were aged on settled lees with minimal stirring. 100% malolactic fermentation was undertaken on a number of barrels for enhanced richness and complexity.
Aromas of orange blossom, frangipani flower, Meyer lemon, grapefruit pith, custard apple and lemon verbena with a subtle savoury undercurrent of lovage, flint and some struck match complexity. The palate is deep, long and flavourful with lemon posset and petrichor undertones washing over a refreshing base of integrated acidity. Aging potential: 5+ years. This wine is suitable for vegans.Aromas of orange blossom, frangipani flower, Meyer lemon, grapefruit pith, custard apple and lemon verbena with a subtle savoury undercurrent of lovage, flint and some struck match complexity.
