Gently oxidatively handled with minimal settling before a cool 12–15°C wild-style ferment in French oak hogsheads (30% new) over 18 days, it then spent a full year in barrel undergoing full malolactic fermentation and aging on lees for creamy texture and complexity. Bottled in December 2025, it offers a finely structured, mineral-driven Chardonnay that marries stone-fruit purity with savoury depth and elegant oak.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lienert Vineyards","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46861043794074,"sku":"11754","price":45.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0559\/6531\/9322\/files\/lienert-vineyards-kyffhauser-chardonnay.png?v=1768442002"},{"product_id":"lienert-vineyards-kyffhauser-eden-valley-pinot-noir-2024","title":"Lienert Vineyards Kyffhäuser Eden Valley Pinot Noir 2024","description":"\u003ch2 class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eTasting Note\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eLight ruby red in colour, this Pinot Noir shows a complex bouquet of fresh cherry, wild strawberries, rhubarb, dried herbs, cedar, lavender, forest floor and some subtle gamey notes.
