Description
Luke Lambert’s Crudo Chardonnay is no ordinary ‘second label’ - this is one of the smartest buys in Yarra Valley Chardonnay, delivering serious complexity and energy at an unbeatable price.
Sourced from the granite-laced soils of the Denton Vineyard, the fruit is whole-bunch pressed and fermented in tank, undergoing full malolactic fermentation before being bottled unfined, unfiltered, and with minimal sulphur. The result? Pure, linear, and crackling with tension.
The nose leads with ripe citrus, stone fruit, and a flinty, talc-like minerality, while the palate is electric yet textural, balancing refreshing acidity with a weighty mouthfeel. It’s got all the Lambert signature funk and flair, but with a precision that makes it ridiculously drinkable.
For the price, there’s almost nothing else like it in the Yarra Valley. This is Chardonnay with soul - drink now, or watch it gain even more complexity over time.
