Place of Changing Winds 'Winds Larderdark' Chardonnay 2024

A very deep, powerful, yet vibrant Chardonnay that needed a long time (30 months) to come around and get ready for bottling. The extremely yields were minuscule, which helps explain the concentration, huge drive, intense freshness and length. The wine was fermented (both primary and full malolactic) in both 228-litre barrique casks and Wineglobe (glass). Aging was for 22 months in barrel and globe, and then a further 8 months in tank before bottling without fining or filtration. It has only recently been bottled. We’re expecting a long life for this tiny release.
