2024 Lethbridge Ooh La La Chardonnay

The 2024 Lethbridge Ooh La La Chardonnay is a vibrant and expressive cool-climate Chardonnay from Geelong, crafted in a style that balances generosity with freshness. Sourced from multiple sites including Moorabool Valley and Mansfield, and made with wild fermentation and careful oak integration, it reflects Lethbridge’s signature approach of texture, precision and drinkability. The nose is clean and lifted, showing ripe melon, lemon zest and white peach, layered with citrus, apple and subtle floral notes. Gentle oak influence adds hints of vanilla, toast and warm spice, giving the wine both aromatic appeal and complexity.

On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a smooth, textural mouthfeel balanced by bright, refreshing acidity. The fruit profile combines citrus, stone fruit and orchard notes, supported by a creamy lees character and subtle oak. The wine shows both generosity and structure, leading to a clean, elegant and persistent finish with a mineral edge.

Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic modern Chardonnay that strikes a balance between richness and freshness. Compared to heavier, oak-driven styles, it offers more lift and drinkability while still delivering texture and flavour. It’s an easy crowd-pleaser without sacrificing quality. Enjoy now or cellar through 2030+ for added complexity. Perfect with roast chicken, seafood, creamy pasta or dishes with butter or citrus elements.
