Made entirely from Gin Gin clone Chardonnay, the 2025 combines concentrated vineyard fruit with an equal split between amphora and oak maturation, delivering purity, elegance, texture and mineral complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVineyard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vineyard lies in the heart of Willyabrup on rich gravelly loam soils. Planted by John Durack approximately 30 years ago, it is entirely Gin Gin clone Chardonnay, producing small, concentrated bunches with intense flavour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWinemaking\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fruit was hand-picked early in the morning, chilled overnight and whole bunch pressed. Half was fermented and matured in amphorae of different shapes, sizes and porosities, while the remaining 50% was fermented and aged in oak barrels. Partial natural malolactic fermentation occurred during maturation, contributing softness, length and depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eProducer Tasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eL.A.S.

Wine Review:\u003c\/strong\u003e “This 30-year-old vineyard, smack bang in the middle of Willyabrup, has always produced some of my favourite Margaret River chardonnays. The winemaking all adds up to a wine with tremendous energy, a degree of tension, and compelling vibrancy. The textural feel is remarkable, with a subtle, lightly roasted cashew character emerging. Exceptional wine.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrape Variety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chardonnay\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClone:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gin Gin\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Willyabrup, Margaret River, Western Australia, Australia\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVineyard Age:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 30 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich gravelly loam\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-picked\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Whole bunch pressed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFermentation \u0026amp; Maturation:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50% amphora and 50% oak barrels\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMalolactic Fermentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Partial natural malolactic fermentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCellaring:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 10 years when cellared correctly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Nelson Wine CO.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52515829645614,"sku":"3824779687","price":82.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/6596\/6894\/files\/Media_2025_L.A.S._Vino_Chardonnay_Wildberry_Springs.jpg?v=1787892779","url":"https:\/\/www.jcfinewines.au\/products\/2025-l-a-s-vino-wildberry-springs-chardonnay-750ml","provider":"JC FINE WINES","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
