{"product_id":"2024-nocturne-wilson-vineyard-chardonnay","title":"2024 Nocturne Wilson Vineyard Chardonnay","description":"\u003cp\u003eIf Julian Langworthy's famed Forrest Vineyard Chardonnay is all about raw power and muscle, the Wilson Vineyard is its elegant, finely tuned counterpart. This is only the second time Julian has released a Single Vineyard wine from this site, and it perfectly highlights the incredible, contrasting diversity of Margaret River's terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSourced from a tiny, two-hectare block tucked further inland within the Wallcliffe sub-region, the vines here sit on a north-facing slope. Jules says that this specific site delivers a \"raw beauty\" and a compelling purity of fruit that is entirely distinct from his coastal vineyards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand-picked in early February and chilled overnight, the fruit was whole-bunch pressed directly into a mix of new (20%) and seasoned puncheons without any settling or fining. A spontaneous wild fermentation kicked off a few days later, and the wine was then left to rest on its gross lees, unsulphured, until September to build vital texture and complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2024 is a Chardonnay of striking finesse. It is bright, finely detailed, and completely captivating, leaning into coastal freshness and linear drive rather than sheer weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA quick warning: production here was minuscule. With only 112 six-packs made, our allocation is painfully small, and this will disappear in a flash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“There’s enough funk in this to get a party started.
