Introducing our latest addition: a Chardonnay that pays homage to Lukas' winemaking roots in the Margaret River Region of Western Australia. Crafted with meticulous care, this limited production of only 100 cases embodies the quintessential Aussie stylistic flair. Experience it for yourself and discover the essence of down-under sophistication. Like all our wines, it undergoes native yeast fermentation and remains unfined and unfiltered, preserving its true character from vineyard to glass.

Theoretically, there is a balance point between opulence and restraint for every California Chardonnay, and that point can only be hit by picking the fruit at just the right time and getting it into and out of a barrel at—again—just the right time. This seems exceedingly well timed, showing lovely fruit that adds a tropical (pineapple) note to the usual ripe apple and peach notes, with just enough spice to lend interest without intruding on the pure fruit at the wine's core. Terrific work here. 95 Michael Franz
This was the second year Lukas worked with Oliver's Vineyard, and he was pleased with the fruit profile. He did a portion in New French oak and stainless steel. After combining the two lots and aging them in stainless steel.
