Red Claw Mornington Peninsula Chardonnay 2025 - 6 Bottles

Product Description

Winery Background

Red Claw, the second label of Yabby Lake Vineyard, focuses on expressive, fruit-driven wines that showcase Victoria’s cool-climate elegance. Their Mornington Peninsula Chardonnay reflects the region’s maritime influence and Yabby Lake’s meticulous approach to winemaking.

Vineyards and Vintage Conditions

The 2024 season was mild with long, sunny days and cool nights, allowing grapes to ripen slowly while retaining natural acidity. The combination of free-draining soils and coastal breezes contributed to precise flavour development and aromatic purity.

Winemaking Process

Hand-harvested fruit was whole-bunch pressed and fermented in a mix of stainless steel and seasoned French oak barrels. Partial malolactic fermentation and lees stirring over several months added complexity, texture, and depth while preserving fresh citrus notes.

Tasting Notes

Pale gold with green hues. Aromas of white peach, nectarine, and citrus blossom are layered with subtle almond and flinty notes. The palate is elegant yet textural, with stone fruit and lemon curd characters balanced by crisp acidity and a long, mineral finish.

Food Pairing

Pairs beautifully with roast chicken, grilled fish, creamy pasta, or soft cheeses.

Story Behind the Wine

This Chardonnay embodies the finesse of the Mornington Peninsula, where cool coastal conditions shape wines of purity, elegance, and effortless drinkability.
