Alice's Reserve

Alice's Reserve Chardonnay 2024 Alice's Reserve Chardonnay is made in very limited quantities from the finest barrels of the 2024 vintage. It pays tribute to Alice Fairweather Follett, whose pioneering spirit and hard work helped establish our Langhorne Creek vineyard in the late 19th century. The wine was barrel fermented using wild yeast in French oak barriques, with 50% of the barrels being new and undergoing malolactic fermentation. Lemon pith and nectarine provide the wine's fruit profile, complemented by balanced oak, savoury complexity and subtle struck flint. The palate is concentrated and layered, with a combination of richness and freshness. Extended lees maturation (10 months) gives the wine a supple texture, while the natural acidity provides freshness, length and definition through the finish. A sophisticated Chardonnay that will develop nicely over the next decade or more. Limited release - only 735 bottles produced.
