2024 Turon Limited Series Chardonnay
This is Turon White’s "Limited Series" take on Chardonnay, sourced from the cool, elevated slopes of Lenswood. It’s a more serious, structured and focused wine than his standard release, having spent ten months on lees and undergoing full malolactic fermentation.
The 2024 is a compact, elegant wine with a striking chalky texture. It starts lean with green apple and lime, but as it opens up, it reveals deeper layers of nectarine, cedar, and a touch of custard powder. There’s a distinct saline, oyster-shell character here that really drives the finish, giving the acidity a savoury, flavoured edge.
While it’s impressive now - especially after a bit of air - this has the bones to develop beautifully over the next few years. Top-tier Chardy from one of the Hills' rising stars.
95 points "A toothsome chardonnay of lighter frame, compact nature, striking, chalky texture and a crystalline mid-palate and finish... It harks back to Chablis of old. A beautiful wine." - Mike Bennie (Halliday Wine Companion)
