There are wineries that make great Chardonnay, and then there are wineries that make Chardonnay that defines a region.

For over two decades, Lethbridge has been one of the leading names in Geelong, consistently producing Chardonnays that combine power with restraint, richness with precision, and complexity with incredible freshness. The 2024 Lethbridge Chardonnay is another superb release, capturing everything that makes this cool-climate region one of Australia's finest homes for the variety.

This is Chardonnay built on balance—intense enough to satisfy lovers of rich, textured wines, yet refined enough to reward those who appreciate elegance and minerality.

Tasting Notes

Expect a beautifully layered cool-climate Chardonnay with:

• White peach and nectarine
• Meyer lemon and grapefruit zest
• Roasted hazelnut and almond meal
• Brioche and subtle French oak spice
• Flint, oyster shell and fine mineral notes

The palate is beautifully textured and concentrated, with creamy mid-palate richness balanced by vibrant natural acidity. Layers of citrus, stone fruit and savoury complexity lead to a long, refined finish that lingers effortlessly.

About the Wine

Founded by Ray Nadeson and Maree Collis, Lethbridge has become one of Australia's benchmark cool-climate wineries. Their Geelong vineyards consistently produce wines renowned for their precision, elegance and longevity, with Chardonnay sitting among the estate's flagship varieties.

The maritime climate of Geelong allows for a long, slow growing season, preserving natural acidity while developing exceptional flavour intensity. Careful hand harvesting, gentle winemaking and judicious use of French oak ensure the vineyard remains the star of the wine.

Food Pairings

Perfect with:

• Fresh lobster with garlic butter
• Seared scallops
• Roast chicken with tarragon cream
• Pork loin with apple sauce
• Triple cream Brie, Comté or aged Gruyère
