Utzinger Estate Chardonnay 2024

(0)

$60.00

The Estate is Utzinger's more serious Chardonnay, a step up in complexity and ambition. Bright yellow with a golden glow, the nose is open and inviting with roasted nuts, oyster shell, brioche, butterscotch, and caramel. The palate has balanced medium acidity and a fuller body with a distinct phenolic grip. The finish is long and refined, with leesy and toasted characters that speak to real craftsmanship. Pair with fresh crayfish, aged soft cheese, or roast chicken. Drink now through 2031.

Open and inviting nose, medium intensity, complex, roasted nuts, oyster shell, brioche, butterscotch and caramel.

Palette

Bright yellow with a golden hue. Medium acid attack, fuller bodied, phenolic grip, lengthy finish on leesy and toasted characters.

Pairings

Built for fresh crayfish, aged soft cheese, or roast chicken — dishes with enough richness to match the wine's fuller body and toasty complexity.

Wine Making

Estate grown fruit, hand-picked, mainly Gin-Gin and 76 clones, whole bunch pressed, shortly settled before wild ferment in all new oak puncheons, 100% malolactic fermentation, 9 months on full lees, 2 months in stainless steel, gentle filtration, screwcap.

Meet the owners

Utzinger is a genuine love story. Swiss-trained winemaker Matthias Utzinger met Tasmanian-raised Lauren while travelling, and after a stint learning the ropes at Stefano Lubiana's Huon Valley vineyard, the couple planted their own five-hectare certified organic estate from scratch at Legana in 2018. Every vine, clone and row spacing was chosen deliberately, and the wines, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah, Riesling and a fumé-style Sauvignon Blanc, are made with minimal intervention. Their "Roter Satz" field blend has already picked up back-to-back trophies at the Young Gun of Wine Awards.

Tamar Valley

About the region

The Tamar Valley is Tasmania's oldest wine region, stretching from Launceston to the Bass Strait in the state's north. Its cool maritime climate and iron-rich soils create ideal growing conditions, and the numbers speak for themselves, home to over 30 family-owned wineries, the Tamar Valley accounts for more than a third of Tasmania's total wine production. Viticulture here goes back a long way too, with the first commercial vineyard established in the mid-1800s at Windermere, its cuttings even helping establish some of South Australia's earliest vineyards. Today, the Tamar Valley is celebrated for its Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling and sparkling wines, each one reflecting the region's exceptional terroir and winemaking heritage.
