The wine was fermented in a combination of quartz amphora and oak, then matured in vessel for 11 months with no malolactic fermentation. A portion was fermented in oak (30% new), with the wine lightly filtered prior to bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eProducer Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePurity, tension and elegance. Pure flavours of Willyabrup chardonnay, peach lemon, lime, green apple, a touch of cream and a hint of flint. The wine will age gracefully for 10 years if cellared correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVintage: 2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrape Variety: Chardonnay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegion: Margaret River \/ Western Australia \/ Australia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlcohol: 13.5%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSweetness: Dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFermentation: Amphora 50% \/ Oak 50%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaturation: 11 months in vessel (30% new oak portion)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVineyard \/ Geo Info: Willyabrup; gravelly loam soils; 80m elevation; 5km from sea; vine age 30 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosure: Diam 10s \/ Wax\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduction Attributes: Vegan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrinking Window: 2025–2034\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Vic Liquors Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53147764916587,"sku":"SK35806645","price":78.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0956\/5483\/8635\/files\/2022L.A.SVino_WildberrySprings_Chardonnay750mL_9948fbe6-6098-4e31-83cb-d82074057b2d.png?v=1780389020"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0956\/5483\/8635\/collections\/L.A.S._Vino.webp?v=1769641367","url":"https:\/\/kingsburycellars.com.au\/collections\/l-a-s-vino.oembed","provider":"Kingsbury Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
