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 presents aromas of lemons and limes, with green papaya, lemon verbena, gardenia and ginger, coupled with a savoury undercurrent of fennel and flinty minerality. The palate is deep, long and flavourful with lemon tart, lime pith, almond and flint undertones washing over a fine line of integrated acidity.
Grapes were whole-bunch pressed. Juice settled overnight, then coarsely racked to foudres 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.
